QuinLED Dig-Uno Pre-Assembled vs DIY
Looking for the older QuinLED Dig-Uno v3? Go to the v3 documentation.
A few years ago the QuinLED Dig-Uno project split diverging from it’s DIY roots into a pre-assembled form and a DIY offering. Because of the difference in manufacturing methods used for pre-assembled or DIY the pre-assembled boards needed to change for Automated Assembly. This also opened the door to include features on the pre-assembled boards which were basically impossible on the DIY version.
Since the DIY version is now at v3 and the pre-assembled at v4 the main difference is in how it handles different voltages and protection circuits.
Getting a pre-assembled gives you the following:
- Guaranteed quality
- All components are from reputable sources
- All boards are built by professionals (part machine, part hand made)
- Each board is electrically and functionally checked before leaving the door
- If something is wrong after you receive it we troubleshoot together and if it’s indeed the board that’s at fault we replace, no problem!
- Always comes with custom QuinLED ESP32
- Choice out of AB (Antenna Board), AE (Antenna External), ABE (Ethernet), AE+ (extra options)
- Comes pre-flashed with a recent version WLED
- Take it out of the box, screw in the wires and it immediately works!
- All pre-assembled Dig boards are manufactured with 4x 1OZ “2OZ” copper
- Allows to use the boards up to 15Amps (Dig-Uno)
- Custom DC-DC circuit
- No more jumper!
- Auto allows boards to take in 5V-24V (Main voltage needs to match LED voltage still!)
- Auto allows vEXT to also be 5V-24V, independent of whatever the main voltage is at that time
- Individual level-shifters per channel
- For best signal integrity possible
- Using custom DC-DC circuit enhanced 5.12v LED data channel voltage
- Adaptable to 3-wire or 2-wire power + 1-wire data scenarios (since v3.1 of pre-assembled)
- Allowed to be (re-)sold or used in sold projects
