First I apologize if this is not the correct category to post this question.
I want to use a digital pot connected to an Arduino Nano to control the brightness of a 12v led strip light. Many similar posts I have read get too technical for me. Can someone share with me which Digital pot to buy, how to connect it and the sketch to control it??
Thanks!
Digital pots aren't generally designed to control high power loads like LED strips.
Unless this particular strip has some kind of controller built in?
Please give details of the strip - preferably a link to specifications.
The usual approach would be to use PWM...
Here is a link to the LED strip in question
I had planned to cut the strip in sections and use each section without the controller. This would allow me to make several setups with out the need of a controller for each one.
You'd need PWM - not a digital pot.
I am quite the greenhorn in this field. Can you please tell me what I need for that (hardware, wiring, sketch)
Take a look at this thread:
I didn't able to find info whether this leds addressable type or not?
Given that it has contacts labelled +12V, R, G, and B I'd be pretty certain it's not an addressable one:
