Hi Guys,
I've had an interest in electronics for many years, but have never had the gumption to take it up as a hobby. This is my first attempt at a project.
I'd like to connect 8 SMD boards together. The boards have 48 lights on each. Two sets of 4 in a strip formation. Each board has its own power connection, so I'd have to daisy chain them together to the power
Would I need any type of power interface between the boards and the power source?
Originally, the boards were to replace interior lights in a vehicle, so I'd assume, I could connect them up to a 12v jack and add a dimmer module then thats should be it?
Ideally, I'd like to add a rechargeable battery pack to the unit too.
I'd appreciate any input as I'd like to take up electronics as a hobby.
