Re: Control of Decorations (Led displays)

Here is a simple circuit using a MOSFET Switch. http://www.newark.com/vishay-semicon...68?Ntt=66M1368

This MOSFET is overkill for simple LEDs, 2 Amp rating.

Just connect the DIO from the digital side car, add the correct resistors to not fry any parts and you should be good to go.

Hope this help.
