Is it difficult to make your own strips?

Thanks man you’re one of the few that actually hasn’t criticized or thought I wasn’t bullshitting about actually doing this.
Am very interested to see you going forward. I have looked at guides and datasheets and seems like a steep learning curve to get all the ducks lined up to make a finished populated pcb.

Am curious how you were planning to drive the seperate channels? When first looking at your project, thought maybe three drivers.

...from mi pov ...yes its difficult... ...but doable....

...im curious too....an strip pcb...
...what pcb used?... FR4?...
...maybe mcpcb?.....al or cu?....

...any squematic image idea???....

...for raspi way maybe helps... ...an Adafruit 16-Channel PWM / Servo HAT for Raspberry Pi - Mini Kit...

...mejor me vuelvo al baul...ciao..

Saludos

I’ll be eventually using this thing that holds meanwhile LDD drivers so each channel can be turned on and off throughout the day to mimic the sun spectrum. Ldd mean well dc 2 dc drivers are 0-5v dimmable so you could use a storm x but I really wanna use a raspberry pi to control the Chanel’s this way co2, humidity temperature and any other sensors someone might want to add to eventually have a grow tent completely controlled by the raspberry pi so there is less work of maintaining it.
