Solved Duex5 - just checking before making a mistake!
-
Whilst waiting for parts to come from the States for my Railcore, I thought I would work out how to get the LED lighting working using the fan outputs on the Duex5.
I have read multiple posts regarding LED lighting on the Duex.I have a 24V PSU so I know I have to change 'V Fan Jumper select' so it converts to 12V, (In built step down - cool!).
The one I am not sure about is this one, i really do NOT want to blowup a £100 board.The text from the manual is this "In order to use the 12V internal supply for LEDs/FANs the 12V EN jumper must be fitted. Do not fit this jumper if you are not using the 12V internal supply"
Please can someone confirm that I am not going to damage my board by jumpering the 'INT 12V EN' to 'GND'
Sorry, just a bit nervous connecting a Gnd to a Positive.
TIA.

You'll be fine. Int 12v en goes straight to the DIS pin on the 12v regulator and by grounding that pin you enable the regulator.

@bearer Thanks for the info.
Added and moved a jumper, powered on and nothing went bang or started smoking.
Just need to wire my LEDs now and test again.Thanks again.
Paul.
