Introduction

The LED Strip Driver with a 4-pin interface provides easy connectivity to your standard Arduino device.

It can help you control the luminance of a single-color LED strip, as well as the color and the luminance of an RGB LED strip through Arduino.

It has 2 terminals and 2 interfaces. The power for LED strip comes in through the 2-pin terminal. And the LED controlling voltages output through the 4-pin terminal. The 2 interfaces are screen-printed “IN” for controlling data input and “OUT” for controlling data shared with the next strip driver, respectively.

It can drive an LED strip 1 to 2 meters long with 9 V, while 1 to 5 meters long with 12 V. The driver in conjunction with the colorful LED strips can add a wonderful effect to indoor or outdoor usages
