DCN-LED controller
DCN-LED controller inside

Description

The DCN-LED controller is a 16 channel two color led controller with an Ethernet interface. The controller is developed in house by our Technical Support Group. The controller is based on an Arduino Mega for the control of the LED output channels and a Raspberry Pi for the Ethernet communication. A pair of Matlab functions is available for the programming of the controller.
