I'd like to use a LEDControl4 V2 to control a set of DIY LED lights.

RapidLED asked me for the voltage of the PWM output signal. Is it 5V or 10V?

(The Meanwell ELN-P drivers need a 10V signal but the Meanwell LDD drivers need a 5V signal)

In the LEDControl4 manual it talks about a pullup 5V resistor - is this normally required on drivers like this?

Thanks for any help,
Mathew

At the suggestion of RapidLED I put a multimeter across the PWM outputs, and at 100% I get 7.5V. Does this sound right? The LEDControl4 V2 output signal is 7.5V maximum?

The output voltage depends on the input voltage (named DC in) aka the power supply you use for the LEDControl4 V2.
I suggest you are using a 7.5V or 8.0V power supply.

Have in mind: The LEDControl4 V2 is only the switching device, not the voltage source.

Gunther, thank you, that's exactly the information I was after. Makes perfect sense now that you point it out to me.
