Luma Nodes
Luma nodes are serially-addressable high-power RGBW lights. They are networked on a RS485 bus, so modules can easily be daisy-chained and controlled.
Current Models
Luma-1L-R4.1
Current model with 1 10W RGBW LED
Luma-3L-R4.1
Current model with 3 10W RGBW LEDs
Luma-S-4.0
Current model for driving high-power RGB LED strips
Obsolete Models
Luma-1L-4.0
Initial 10W RGBW LED model with RJ45 and screw terminal connectors mounted on the top of the board (current models have these components on the bottom). This model adds 4 constant-current buck drivers for each LED channel, an on-board led, an on-board heatsink, a temperature sensor, and a crystal for clocking at 16MHz.
Luma-1L-3.0
Luma board with an off-board LED driven with discrete transistors and surface-mount current-limiting resistors. This model adds reverse voltage protection, a transistor-controlled fan output, and better heat dissipation for current-limiting resistors.
Luma-1L-2.0
The first Luma board to communicate over RS485. Uses current-limiting resistors and transistors to drive an off-board LED.
Luma-1L-1.0
Intial Luma prototype, also known as TinyRGB. Communication over I2C using Cyz_RGB, an alternate firmware for BlinkM modules.
