Fluval Pro LED Lights - PWM Walkthrough
#2
Wow this is great, thanks and well done! Definitely want to see pictures of your setup. :)

One thing I have is the LED channels aren't coming from the Arduino DUE, the board has a PCA9685 mounted which gives the 16 12-bit channels, this communicates with Arduino using the I2C bus, but yeah obviously they're similar.

Here's a video explaining how to calculate if the NPN will get hot and require a heatsink. I tried to check for TIP122 but the datasheet doesn't have the RDSon.

What kind of connectors does the light have? If they're available maybe I can offer a conversion box for users to plug into.

Well great job and thanks for the details.
