mirith:
It will work, but it might get hot.
Have you looked at the various controllable LED strings/ropes instead?Also, I'm not 100% sure if that driver board is designed to control LEDs individually. I don't see a datasheet.
Thank you for the quick reply!
I looked into rope LEDs, but from what I read they aren't nearly as bright as this method.
I would just be using the driver board for power. If I had all of the LEDs wired in parallel like this:
Shouldn't the driver board just treat it like one high powered LED?
I'll be using the Arduino to control the LED's. The blade is going to have six segments of 15 LEDs that are wired in parallel. I'll have the Arduino turn each segment on/off in a row to give the illusion of a lightsaber powering on and off.
