danieljay:
so i followed this LED strip tutorial: Digital RGB LED Strip tutorialbasically I've followed the circuit with the TIP 122 transistor, and I'm trying to fade between 3 led strips. they all work, except one of the strips will not completely turn off. I'm not sure if anyone has some quick suggestions/tips why this might be happening.
the code has been tested and works fine with lower voltage LED's. I've adjusted the circuit to take into an account an external power supply instead of the Arduino power due to low amperage and not enough voltage.
help?
Might be leakage current in the transistor - does that strip still glow a bit if the TIP122 base is connected to ground?
