I had a bit of a play with the DM413 to create a similar thing, but to purchase ready made modules seems like a much easier solution especially at the price you suggest. Are you able to state the chip ? Yeah, that’s what i was wondering if it was that chip.

I looked at a couple products using the '1606, including those waterproof RGB strips. However, after further research I determined that the controller wasn't appropriate for a 'live' environment. As you may know, that controller can only hold a steady state in the 7 primary combinations of the three colors: R, G, B, R+G, R+B, G+B, R+G+B. All other color combinations are only transitory in nature. The controller can be told to fade from, say, red to green over .8 seconds. It then handles the fading / PWM driving internally. But if you want a steady state mix of, say, 85% red and 15% blue, it's impossible to achieve. Since our goal is to control these nodes in real time, products based on the '1606 were, unfortunately, eliminated. Actually, it’s not.

Is this for the HL1606 chip by any chance? Hi, Great work on cracking those things. Is this for the HL1606 chip by any chance?
