  • Hello, I really liked your concept, I already use 2 of them in my computer. I wanted to redo them with a SATA power supply on the side, MOLEX becoming rare on modern configurations and this would make it possible to stack the Nodes. Also, I only use Corsair 3 pin connectors and converted my entire ARGB system to these sockets. So I had to flip an MX2.54 connector on your design and made some cutouts on the printed part. I wanted to know if you wouldn't mind redoing this design with these parts ? Or if not, if you have some advice to guide me to do it again? Thank you in advance for your help Triton

    Hello. There is no problem, so please design it. A STATA connector is a good idea. thank you. Yukari

    Hello, Thanks for your fast answer :) I will try, maybe is it possible to join you on another platform more directly ? And if you have, is it possible to send me your work ? Don't want to be intrusive, but i'm very beginner at pcb design, some files to start the project can help me :) Bye Triton

    I added the KiCAD 5.0 files. This is an early build so there may be some bugs. Good luck.

    Hello, I did this : https://github.com/Supertriton/DiyLightingNodeProV2 Sorry first time I use GitHub and all these tools. Bye

  • Are you trying to use 12V addressable LEDs? (Simply hope to set the power supply voltage of pin 3 to 12V) If so, mount the MOLEX connector in reverse. Then 12V will be supplied to the 3PIN connector. This is possible because the MOLEX power line is not connected to the Pro Micro. It has only a 3pin connector connected. (ProMicro 5V is supplied from USB)

    The explanation was incorrect, so I'll fix it. See the next post.

    Perfect, that makes a ton of sense. Thank you so much for the help!

  • Thank you Yukari! I've ordered this board and am working on getting a custom Y adapter made to work for 12V lights (Data + Ground from PCB, into Y cable that adds 12V Positive and joins the ground from PCB to the wall adapter). Then send this to the strip with 12V, and good to go!

  • Hello This board only supports 5V WS2812B strips. The 12V line is not used on this board. For more information, see the Corsair Lighting Protocol page on github. PS. I also considered using a 12V RGB Strip on the board below. https://www.diymore.cc/products/full-color-rgb-led-strip-driver-module-shield-for-arduino-stm32-avr-v1-0?_pos=1&_sid=b9b8337ac&_ss=r

  • Hello, How does the 12V connection work with this board? I'd like to build this but have flexibility of using 5V strips, or 12V strips. If 12V I know I need to inject my own power source and only pull the data pin from the connectors on the right hand side, but curious how the circuitry works here. In my head, I would need the data and gorund wires coming off the 3 pin connector, and need to hook this into 12V power source + the LED strip. If it is only designed for 5V WS2812B strips, that's fine, but wanted to confirm. Does this need any modification, or could I get these and a nano board, put it together, connect a molex power source with 12V adapter or standard computer PSU, and everything works?
