So ânext weekâ later, Iâve confirmed my original suspicion and now the docs are in the process of being updated accordingly. Basically the manual has now been revised to mention that âonly 5V RGB LED strips are able to be supported by the SLBâ and this is for two reasons:
- Different voltage LED strips actually tend to use different chips / communication protocols, which means that if the SLB were to support different strips weâd have to configure a way for someone to select their LED type which would add to the setup complexity
- The âRailâ output plug needs to have an extra mosfet added to support the wider range of strip voltages
I want to apologize since I know original docs specified that strips 5-24V could be used, so if anyone felt misled they can contact me and I can arrange to send you a 5V strip as a replacement for your setup. If anyone else has any questions feel free to let me know or open up a new topic
