Well I was planning to power the LED driver through the DAQ, but if that won't work how can I power the LED driver?
Yes that is what I am planning to do have two outputs for each LED,as it is a bi-colour LED so current will run through each leg of the LED to determine which colour should be...
DAQ is being used so that the LEDs can be controlled through LabVIEW, so DAQ works well with that so that is why the DAQ is being used.
How will the LEDs receive current in this case which they need to be able to work?
I thought the DAQ might provide current as well but maybe I am mistaken, I...
here is the datasheet for the DAQ http://www.mccdaq.com/PDFs/manuals/USB-1208FS.pdf
Doesn't it say if it's connected through a usb to pc there is 500mA ( under power subheading page : 25 )
sorry where exactly on the datasheet does it say it's 20mA ?
So is there anything I can do to get the current to drive the 13 Leds? but not all of them will be on at the same time only 1 will be on as the next on in line blinks
here is the datasheet for the LED driver...
Sorry here is the link for the LED datasheet http://www.rapidonline.com/pdf/55-0168e.pdf
is that output current of the analog output from the DAQ? which is 6mA
