RobG 1,891 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Here are two more boards from the TLC series, one with 5050 SMD, the other with 5mm RGB LEDs. Both boards have TLC5951 24 channel LED driver, MSP430G2553 (or similar,) 24 pin output header, LDO, input header with all TLC's input pins and MSP's programming and RXD pins connected. They will be available as a bare PCB or partially populated kit. Other TLC boards: TLC5940 TLC5916 bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,580 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I may use this on my quadcopter. Are these bright? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,891 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 5mm ones are much brighter than 5050s, but that might be because of the lenses. 5050s are much better when it comes to color mixing and angle of view. 5050 are better for mood lights, 5mm are better for disco lights 5mm are common anode (or cathode) so you cannot connect them in series. BTW, if you want to go with 5mm and have nice and even light, I would not get clear ones. pine 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 BTW, if you want to go with TH and have nice and even light, I would not get clear ones. FWIW: I've scuffed them up with a "Scotchbrite" pad to turn the clear ones into diffused pretty successfully. RobG and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,580 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 What's TH? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,891 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Through hole. I should probably just call them 5 mm or T-1 3/4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kylej1050 27 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 FWIW: I've scuffed them up with a "Scotchbrite" pad to turn the clear ones into diffused pretty successfully. Or a quick run on a belt sander will make them flat top 'diffused' leds. Spreads the light even better. I find the best for color mixing that people will see directly on the LED is the diffused 10mm, but they're expensive in comparison to 5mm RGB so I tend to just flat-top the ones for color mixing.
