<html><body><h3>Welcome to PicoFarmLED!</h3>In this little guide we will go through setting up the PicoFarmLED panel with arduino. PicoFarmLED panels are full spectrum LED panels perfect for plants and other usages like vivariums or fish tanks. Since there is an on-board driver it can be powered with any 24v power supply (LED panels usually require a constant current power supply), and you can easily control the intensity through the PWM input without the need for the usual 10v dimming signal on most LED drivers. Any arduino compatible board should work, just make sure it's either 3.3v or 5v with PWM output. Which is probably the case of 90% of them. <h3>Arduino Interfacing</h3>Here's the basic schematic to control your PicoFarmLED panel from an arduino uno. <figure><img src="https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/aba072d6-a592-4586-a16b-c2f3ca8e73a9.jpg"/><figcaption></figcaption></figure>The panel can then be controlled like any other LED, so the simplest sketch is just the blink LED example sketch: <pre>void setup() { </pre><pre>	 // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output. </pre><pre>	 pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); </pre><pre>} </pre><pre>// the loop function runs over and over again forever </pre><pre>void loop() { </pre><pre>	 digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) </pre><pre>	 delay(1000); // wait for a second </pre><pre>	 digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW </pre><pre>	 delay(1000); // wait for a second </pre><pre>} </pre>Check out the attached code to this guide for a slightly more advanced sketch that does progressive on/off cycles. <h3>To go further</h3>The <a href="https://picofarmled.com">picofarmled.com </a>website also provides a firmware that allows to setup a mobile app compatible home farming setup with remote control and monitoring of temperature and humidity, but also a watering module and a co2 level control module among others.
