Admittedly, I do not have much experience in this area. I am trying to drive 10 individual groups of 6 LED's each. Each of these groups of 6 LEDs will be controlled with an arduino so that any combination of the 10 groups can be on/off at the same time. I don't need to have any control over the dimming since the LED's will either be completely on, or completely off.
Each LED needs ~25mA and has a forward voltage drop of ~2.5V. I am using a basic 250 ATX power supply with 5V and 12V rails. Not having much experience in this area I was hoping I could get some help choosing a driver that will be able to handle enough power (60 total LEDs) and with enough channels (10) that will not be a nightmare to work with. I looked at a couple of matrix LED drivers but the problem is that my LED's are not in a matrix and it would be a pain to wire them so that they were. Does anybody have any suggestions or experience with this kind of thing?
Thanks in advance!
