I am looking to control a bunch (~30) of these high power RGB LEDs (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15200). In the past I’ve gotten what I need out of the picobuck boards, but they have been out of stock for a while now. I’m wondering if anyone has any idea when they will be back in stock, or if there is a good alternative.
I tried using a DMX512 controller controlled by a teensy, but that was a little too slow for my needs – the DMX512 approach has a latency of around 30 ms and showed a little flickering (not visible to the human eye, but detectable with a sensor), whereas I can get well below 8 ms with the picobucks controlled by a teensy and a very clean response.
Any suggestions?
