Re: Using the PCM to control a LED

We use both an LED ring light from Superbright LEDS for the camera targeting as well as a high-power LED for manual targeting. Both lights are driven off the same Spike relay module which we've used in past years.

Note: our lights are pointed upward and we only turn them on when we need to use them. Otherwise they stay off so as not to unduly distract the opposing castle defenders.

Re: Using the PCM to control a LED

Any info on your setup with the Spike relay would be appreciated... i am trying ot get this going with a 12v to 3.3V converter but the 2 LEDs flashlight i used so far don't seem to hold up.... I have a nice bright light at forst, remove power then re-apply and then i can barely see it....
