1. Device description
The CANdle is a CAN-enabled individually addressable LED controller and a 5V high-efficiency DC voltage regulator
all in one compact device.
1.1. Common Use Cases
This device allows users to:
-
Produce light using the
eight individually addressable onboard LEDs
- controlled via
CAN bus
(Phoenix) or
WS2812B-compliant pulse-train
.
Good for dome lamp applications.
-
Control
external
individually addressable LEDs
via
CAN bus
(Phoenix)
or WS2812B-compliant pulse-train
.
-
Power a custom load using a
5V high-efficiency DC voltage regulator
up to
six amperes.
Great for Jetson Nano and other popular development boards!
-
Measure output current, 5V voltage, and V+ input voltage.
-
Enable/disable 5V output programmatically.
(1)
-
Modulate V+ output for
single-color LEDs
.
-
Daisy-chain multiple CANdles using a single source of power.
Note 1:
Not available without field-upgrade.
With all these use cases and features, the CANdle will likely find a place in a variety of your LED and voltage control
applications.
