    Programming VDM for LED

    Hi All,
    I jut hacked the Mars Aqua LED lighting for intensity control and hooked it up to a VDM. I set up the 6 profiles and uploaded them to the Var speed ports. For some reason the slider bar does not read the correct programmed percentage. I've heard this could be a firmware issue? Thoughts?

    If your VDM firmware is showing as OLD on the Module setup page, update it.

    Did you figure this out?

    I'm looking at getting 3 lights, daisy chaining them and running off of my variable speed ports 3 & 4: blues on #3 and whites on #4.

    The modification look pretty simple and straight forward.

    Thoughts?

    Shouldn't be a problem. You do have to be slightly careful how many you daisy chain if they are cheap Chinese knockoffs but otherwise up to about 5 or 6 lights can be daisy chained without risk to the VDM itself.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
