CANdle

Product Description

CANdle

The CANdle is a CAN-enabled individually addressable LED controller and a 5V high-efficiency DC voltage regulator all in one compact device. Featuring 8 on-board individually addressable RGB LEDs,  5V and pass-through VBat outputs with current sense capability for both outputs, and the ability to daisy-chain multiple CANdles using a single source of power, the CANdle can find a place in a variety of your LED and Voltage control applications.

The CANdle features:

• Eight onboard individually addressable LEDs – CANdle can be used without wiring additional LEDs.
• Firmware supports several animations (Larson, rainbow, twinkle, color fades, etc.) via CAN bus/CAN FD (Phoenix)
• Firmware supports direct LED value control via CAN bus/CAN FD (Phoenix) or WS2812B-compliant pulse-train.
• Auto-detection of CAN bus/CAN FD (Phoenix) or WS2812B-compliant pulse-train. No software configuration required to choose between the two.
• Supports external addressable LEDs
• Works with 12V RGB(W) LED strips (when +VIN is ~12V)
• Works with 5V RGB(W) LED strips (using onboard regulated 5V supply)
• 5V Output can also power 5V peripherals such as Jetson Nano or Raspberry Pi
• Reverse Input Power Protection
• Output Short-Circuit Protection
• Output Overcurrent Protection
• Thermal Protection
• Voltage and Current Measurement
• High-side duty cycle control of the V+ output allows modulation of downstream 12V LED systems 
• Polycarbonate housing prevents debris from entering inside device
• Electrically isolated heatsink allows for direct mounting to robot frame
• Robust bootloader and reliable field-upgrade (no physical button required, no “stuck states” that
  requires user intervention)
• Robust embedded wire leads
  
• Wire leads are labeled for fast and easy wiring
• CAN FD Compatible
