Re: Underglow LED Control using WPI_DigitalOutputGeneratePWM.vi
I am wondering why you want to use PWM. Are you trying to get a color in between RGB YCM W? If you are just looking for the 7 basic colors couldn't you just use digital IO Out to drive the base of your transistors and then have power and ground come from the PD board? If I am thinking correctly this would be legal and fused at 20A.

P.S. Our team bought one of these flex strips as well. I like the fact that you can cut the bars in sections and just add wires to increase number of strips you have.
