The CANdle™ combines an addressable LED driver and DC voltage regulator on a single CAN-native module. Built for FRC teams and custom automation, it powers high-density LED strips straight from your main supply- no extra Arduino boards or separate 5V converters needed.

You get eight onboard addressable RGB LEDs out of the box, plus outputs to drive external WS2812B strips over CAN or CAN FD. It features built-in animation patterns, native Phoenix 6 API support, and live voltage/current telemetry to keep your status lighting dependable under match conditions.

• Integrated Power & Logic: Eliminates extra voltage converters by regulating power internally to drive external LED strips directly from the main robot battery.
• Onboard & External LEDs: Features 8 onboard RGB LEDs for local status checks, with outputs for long external WS2812B strips.
• Built-in Animations & Custom Control: Trigger pre-programmed animation patterns in code or build custom lighting states for driver feedback, vision target alignment, and pit diagnostics.
• Dual CAN / CAN FD Support: Plugs directly into the CAN network for control via Phoenix 6 and Phoenix Pro software suites, with real-time diagnostics.
• Telemetry & Hardware Protection: Monitors voltage and current draws over CAN while guarding against short circuits, overcurrent, and thermal overload.
• Daisy-Chain Powering: Designed to pass power through to multiple downstream CANdle modules, keeping wiring harnesses clean across complex robot frames.

Reliable Robot Feedback Without the Wiring Mess

Custom lighting shouldn't complicate your electrical board. By running power regulation and pattern logic on-board, the CANdle handles driver-station feedback and team branding over CAN while keeping your main processor free from heavy signal-timing code.
