Hey everybody! Recently I purchased some LED lights off of eBay and BOTH of the controllers didn't work! Then I purchased a standalone controller/remote and STILL nothing. I looked inside all of them and sure enough, flux all over the board, and the leads were in the wrong place, sadly the damage was already done to the components and they were all unusable (got my money back though) so now I have LED strips that WORK, but don't have anything to control them. And my idea was to build a basic wired controller where they all share the same + wire, but each light color has a pot. wired up to control individual colors... I don't need strobing patterns, just a solid light.
IDK what pot. to get or how to calculate it but I'd love to learn how
My power supply is (pretty weak but it works) 12v at 100ma and the lights are (of course) also 12v... How can I find what pot. to use? I know that as of now there are 120Ω resistance in this circuit, but I'm slightly confused my potentiometers being marked with K at the end... Is that just thousands of ohms?
Thanks in advance! I'll upload a circuit idea in a few!
