| Apr 25, 2016 at 3:55 | comment | added | Predrag Beocanin | So i did try the resistor and arduino keeps burning up. One thing i noticed: if i wire pots directly to + arduino gets really hot really fast. If i wire them to arduino 5v pin, it gets hot slower, but still does. Im confused | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 16:47 | comment | added | Majenko | 220Ω should be fine | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 16:10 | comment | added | Predrag Beocanin | Theres 12 leds total, 3 per segment | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 16:09 | comment | added | Majenko | How many LEDs on your strip? | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 16:08 | comment | added | Predrag Beocanin | Any ideas how to figure it out? There are zero marks on the strip itself. No make and model, no specs | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 15:34 | comment | added | Majenko | That depends on how much current your LED strip needs per channel. | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 15:34 | comment | added | Predrag Beocanin | Would you suggest anything specific? Arduino should be able to throw 20mA on those outputs, transistors are running on 12v, while Arduino is on 6 | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 15:18 | comment | added | Majenko | Yes, otherwise the transistors can draw too much current for the Arduino to handle. | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 15:18 | comment | added | Predrag Beocanin | Nothing according to the original build, should there be any? | |
| Apr 24, 2016 at 15:15 | comment | added | Majenko | No base resistors? | |
