The Red channel of the LED has to be wired to Power1, Green to Power2 and Blue to Power3.
The color of the LED wired to Power4 can be selected from the board configuration window
and is used by the Effect Editor and Express Font Wizard to correctly display the color mixing,
but other than that, it has no impact on the functionality of the Diamond Controller.
Accent LEDs
Here you can enable / disable and set the nominal voltage and current for each accent LED
channel. For the correct values, please check the datasheet of the LED you’re using.
Accent channels are designed to drive low power LEDs, but with the Onyx LED buck regulator
you can use the same accent channels to drive high power LEDs. You can find details about
wiring with Onyx in
If any accent channel is wired to an Onyx board instead of a low power LED, you should check
the corresponding “Onyx LED Buck” checkbox. In this situation there’s no need to specify
current and voltage: the maximum current is determined by the type of Onyx board used
(could be 0.7A or 1A) and the voltage is handled by the Onyx regulator.
Battery Monitor
The battery monitor is a built-in measurement unit that checks the charging level of your
batteries. Here you can enable / disable it and, if enabled, choose which accent channel should
be used to signal the charging state of the batteries.
There are two thresholds below which the battery monitor will signal the charging state:
♦
Warning level –below this, the accent LED blinks slowly
♦
Critical level – below this, the accent LED blinks fast
