Title: DLC max. current
Post by: NI0X on February 06, 2013, 05:37:48 pm

Hi there, I would like to know what the max. allowed current is.
Background: I would like to add a relais and connect it to the turnlights ;)

When the brightness is set at the maximum level, max current is 25mA.
But I am not sure it will work with relays because the displays are multiplexed, which means that only 6 displays are switched on at a given time and the other displays are OFF.
displays are switched on and off very quickly so that the eyes don't see that.

So if you connect a relay I think it will switch on and off very quickly.

The Pro-Shift instead is not multiplexed so it should work with relays.

Oh yes, thank you, didn't think about the switching display...
So the "click-clack" will not be possible :(
