Arduino LED help

[gihanasanka]

Hi
I would like to know how to run 100 LED bulb from Arduno
Uno board..
I wrote program to Arduno Uno for get 5 out put from board.
it's working properly. when I connect C828 And D400 transistar as driver
cc't to run 100nos led from each channel. but no action from
transistor. (Those transistar are new. )


will I use another method from get it run 100+ led bulb

please help me

Thanks again

Show us the schematic of your design (we don't know what C828 or D400 are) and give a bit more information, such as:
- operating voltage of the 100 LED lamp
- operating current of the 100 LED lamp
- types and values of components (indicate on schematic, please)
- supply voltage sused

Pls see the attached picture for circut diagrame

You cannot drive a high side switch (transistors to 12 V) from an arduino with a max. output voltage of 5 V.
You need to use a low side switch:

Note that gnd aof the power bank and of the arduino have to be connected for this to work.

OK thanks.
What is the model no of transistor should I use?

 

[Harald Kapp]

That depends on the current consumption of your LEDs which you still haven't posted despite my request in post #2.
Any transistor which can carry the required current and has sufficient current gain can be used.
Or use a logic level MOSFET.

And in general, LEDs require some form of current limiting (for low power LEDs, typically a resistor).

I can't understand. Early I done same led pattern display with PIC microcontroller + C828 & B562 transistor. I never using MOSFET. Now I trying do that Arduno .

 

[Harald Kapp]

I never using MOSFET

You don't have to use a MOSFET, that was only a suggestion.

 

[gihanasanka]

Thanks for advice .
Happy to inform to you I connect 2nos of NOT gate with Arduno out put and also connected two GND line together.. It works. but I think D400 is not enough power to my project. I

 

[Harald Kapp]

We can't help you more if you don't reveal the power consumption of your LEDs, despite my asking in post #2 and #6.

 

[gihanasanka]

Dear Sir.

Sorry for inconvenience caused this regard.
my project like this. 90℅ match with this.( I don't know power consumption of this)

I'm planning

5mm Red color 60LED bulb
5mm Blue colour 60 LED bulb
5mm White colour 60 LED bulb
5mm Pink colour 60 LED bulb
5mm Green colour 60 LED bulb
5mm Yellow colour 120 LED bulb use as this attached picture . power supply will 12V/1A transformar.

 

[Harald Kapp]

The D400 is good for max. 1 A collector current. I recommend to use it at max. 800 mA, though. Lacking more ata it is up to you to determine whether this is enough for your setup.

60 LEds run at 20mA will consume 1.2A on their own - never mind multiple strings of them.

Your PSU is vastly under rated.
