I'd like to build my own controller (hope be able to do that
).

I am planning on 8 different colors (white, RB 450nm, RB 465nm, blue, green, red, red/orange, UV) with each being dimmable so I will be using 8 boards and may use the other 2 boards for the sump and put some frags in the sump. |
ok, so I'm following you on that and we're taking the terahz's LM3409HV route.
step by step:
1) access that link (
http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...postcount=2193) to the last revision of the LM3409HV based driver
2) overthere get into the link to the project files where you'll find the following files:
LICENSE.tx - no comments
LM3409.v06.brd - board layout
LM3409.v06.brd.png - just a board illustration
LM3409.v06.jpg - board photo (end product)
LM3409.v06.sch - board design
LM3409.v06.sch.png - schematics illustration
Parts.List.ods - BOM file (component list)
Parts.List.xls - BOM file (component list - same as previous but in .xls)
3) inside de BOM file ( Parts.List.xls ) there is a link to the Mouser Eletronics website where it's possible to get a quotation on (and buy) all components needed by the LM3409HV driver board
4) Save all files in a common place inside your home directory [ directory where LM3409.v06.brd is ]
5) the board itself can be ordered on a PCB prototyping service -
http://www.iteadstudio.com ,
http://www.seeedstudio.com - 10 boards at minimum at the price of USD 10 ($1 each)
