What is Arduino®

Arduino®is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.

Arduino®boards are able to read inputs –light-on sensor, a finger on a button or a Twitter message –

and turn it into an output –activating of a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You

can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To

do so, you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino®software IDE

(based on Processing). Additional shields/modules/components are required for reading a twitter

message or publishing online. Surf to www.arduino.cc for more information

Product overview

The Whadda digital LED strip driver module is designed to make it easy to drive and switch 12 V LED strips

with 5 V devices such as Arduino® compatible boards. The module features a step-up boost converter which

is designed to convert a 5 V input voltage to 12 V to drive the LED strip. The signal pin on the module can be

used to switch the converter on or off when applying a HIGH or LOW input signal respectively.

Note that the module is not designed to work with PWM signals, the input signal must be either a steady 5 V

or GND.
