Brief backstory:
My LED unit took a swin - fast forward - I have MOST of the internal components to get it reassembled, with the exception of the controller.
Here's what I know:
The unit uses a single 24v power supply, that is routed through an internal driver board that splits it into seperate channels (I think 3, but not sure).
I'm thinking that the LEDs are split into Blue, White, and Moonlight channels. The color rating of the light obviously adjusted for the percentage of each color used.
The LEDs are controlled through a 4-pin molex connector that runs to a controller board that looks to be the same style as an Arduino, but it's not. The lights can be run with no function as an on/off fixture with or without the cable connected. In order for the light to function, all wires terminate together.
This "master unit" also controls a slave via the same 4 wire external connection.
The only way to control the lights is via bluetooth - which the replacement controller does not seem to have.
Here's what I think:
The channels are obviously controlled by some means of voltage regulation through the 4 pin connector.
My question:
Anyone have any clue how this thing might actually work? I'm a whiz at soldering, video games, driving fast cars, and shooting big guns, but when it comes to how electronics work, I'm a bit of a n00b.
I can attach some pictures if anyone would like to see what the inside of a $1200 LED system looks like AFTER it's swam a few hours and then sat more than a year.
