12V LED Strip ond Duet 2 Wifi
-
Hello!
Can i connect a 12V LED Stripe to a controlled FAN Output?
I have 24V System, but when i wire +/- from the Controlled Fan Output to to Buck Regulator (12V), and from the Buck Regulator to the 12V LED Stripe, that should work?
And if yes, what have i to set in the Firmware?
Sorry for my Bad English, i am a German User with terrible English Skills
Thanks & Kind Regards

Yes that should work.
How do you have the buck converter wired up to the fan ports?
See here for an illustrated example

Your english seems very good.
Be aware that the regulator should be in the + (positive) (red) side. The buck regulator should have its own ground, NOT to the fan output.
The fan output PWM switches the ground - (negative) (black) side. The fan output negative should be wired directly to the black wires from the LED strip.

Define that fan port as a fan, then use normal fan on, or fan off, commands to turn the LEDs on or off.

I don't quite understand that now ...
I have a 12V Fan connected with a Buckregulator as described here
how do I have to attach the LED strip where exactly or the buck converter?
Kind Regards

Buck regulator input + (red) to + of an always on fan outlet on the Duet.
Buck regulator input - (black) to - of an always on fan outlet on the Duet.Buck regulator output + (red) to the + of the fan itself.
Buck regulator output - (black) will have no connection.Fan - (black) to the - of the controlled fan outlet on the Duet.
Which Duet board do you have? Duet 2 Wifi? Duet 3 6HC? I will post a wiring diagram.
