DIAMEX LED CONTROLLER-L (Rev. 2)
Effect controller and TPM2 player for LED stripes with remote control
FUNCTIONS
The LED controller-L2 generates various static or dynamic effects and outputs these at connected LED
stripes or single light-emitting diodes of type WS2812 (RGB), SK6812 (RGBW) or compatible. By
pressing buttons on the device and the 4-digit 7-segment display, effects can be selected and settings
can be changed. With the infrared remote control, all functions can also be controlled wirelessly. A
random mode with an adjustable time period selects static, dynamic or all effect sequences from the
permanently integrated effect memory. The LED controller-L2 can also play effects directly from the
PC via the USB port. For this purpose, any program which outputs data in TPM2 format via the serial
interface (for example JINX or Glediator) can be used.
Technical specifications:
• Connection for LEDs or strips with WS2812 (RGB), SK6812 (RGBW) or compatible LEDs
• Maximum number: 512 light emitting diodes
• USB 2.0 port, virtual COM port
• Serial data in TPM2 format (Jinx, Glediator)
• 4-digit 7-segment display to display the functions
• 4 buttons for operation
• Infrared remote control for wireless selection of
effects
• Controlled by a powerful 32-bit ARM-Cortex-M4
microcontroller
• Bios can be updated via USB
• Power supply via USB or the 5V LED connector
• Power consumption at 5V max. 100mA
POWER SUPPLY
LEDs require only a relatively small current. However, this can add up to impressive values for long
stripes or large panels. The current consumption of a WS2812 LED serves as an example. At 100%
white this LED needs 60mA at 5Volt. This is not very much at first, but with 10 LEDs, this is already
600mA, which means that a normal USB 2.0 port is already overloaded since it can usually deliver a
maximum of 500mA (according to the USB specification). For this reason, we always recommend the
use of a power supply designed according to the required LEDs.
Version 1:
LED controller L2 via USB port
This variant is always required when you directly play
data from JINX or GLEDIATOR via USB. The LED player is
automatically powered by the USB port.
The + 5V screw terminal remains unconnected in this
case.
