Flame effect control node: an Arduino compatible, 4 channel DC + 1 channel AC solid state relay with RS-485 communication and flame sensor built-in. Originally designed for and used by Super Street Fire.
4 DC channels and 1 AC channel makes this board very versatile. Use it to control flame effects with a hot surface igniter, or RGBW LEDs using the DMX512 protocol.
- Arduino compatible
- Programmable via 6-pin FTDI header or 6-pin ICSP header
- Four DC load channels switched via MOSFET
- One AC load channel switched via SSR
- Power connectors use 5mm screw terminals or Anderson Powerpole connectors
- Standard 5mm fuse for protection on AC channel
- RS-485 support (DMX512 compatible) via 8P8C connectors
- Termination resistor and jumper for serial connection
- All ATMega I/O pins are broken out on the board
- DC load power is optoisolated from the control system power
- Power connectors use 5mm screw terminals or Anderson Powerpole connectors
- Load power status is reported to the microcontroller via an optoisolated input pin
- Each output channel has a status LED for easy debugging
- IR LED connector for use as a flame sensor
