High Performance LED Kits from RapidLED

wait wait wait.. a controller you can program!
is it our curt(inwall) who is writing the libraries for it?

 

You've not heard of the Reef Angel?

I think the libraries are mostly by the guy who designed it. There's a client program being made, I think crank or droopster is working on that.

 

no, our curt(inwall) is Curt S.
RA Curt is Curt Binder i think?

I know for sure its not "our" Curt though

 

Hey dingo Ive got a question for ya about that driver you have in the first pic..Im confused as to the difference...what is the "p" for Ive seen the same one with a "d"..its for use on a controller right..would it work on the RKL,meaning does it already have a stable 10 volts that controllers need..reason is it would be easier if this is the case, less wiring compared to the other dimming driver..Thanks...

 

I got the P version for the PWM signal. I can electronically control PWM with the reef angel.
The D works the same way, except it needs a separate potentiometer to control the strength.

I dont know if the RKL is capable of sending PWM or not? but if it isnt, then it will still work perfectly fine with the D version... you will just have to adjust intensity by hand

 

Cool Thanks..I understand now..I will look into the adapter for the RKl(the ACL) to see if it can accept PWM( I believe it can),and if not good to know I can just control using the potentiometer..

EDIT..just did some reading on the RKL/ALC and the "D" driver is the way to go..

 

Absolutely subscribing to this. The 4.5x23" Heatsink is absolutely perfect for the the 30x30" I'm building.

 

Does the kit come with this slotted air cooled aluminum plate?

 

That's the heat sink, and no, the kit doesn't come with a "standard issue" one, but there are several different sizes/configurations of heat sinks you can also buy through them.
