Garry Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I will try and explain what I would like to do:I want to make a Marty Fan with 3 different LED colors using 12 channels for Red, 12 channels for Green, and 12 channels for Blue.The problem is I only have 1 LOR1602W-16 box left, but I have channels 13, 14, 15 to be able to switch the grounds/circuits/channels maybe?By using LEDS the wattage is not a problem.The 16th channel will be used to light the outside surrounding the Marty Fan with a rope light.I know I will have to make a 36 outlet box for all of this but I have all of the parts, just not sure if it can be done without problems with the LOR box circuitry?I will have 3 circuits of 1 through 12 controlled by channel #13, then use the #14 channel to control another 1-12 circuits, and the same for channel #15 to control another 1-12 channels.I was planning on using solid state relays on channels #13, #14, & #15 to do the switching, but worry about feed back to the LOR controller if I only switch 1 leg of the LOR box main 16 channels, and not both legs?I do not want to use 39 relays either.I have tested the software with the solid state relays and the multiplexing seems to be working software speaking, I have just not actually done the real switching of live circuits for fear of damaging my last new LOR box.GarryYou can get up to 48 channels out of a 16 channel box with this arrangement if you want or can do it.
