Aqua Computer inking USB, Bluetooth version [53207]

The inking is an autonomous device with on embedded microprocessor and can be operated without a PC. Four sensor inputs can be used with compatible temperature sensor (not included in delivery) to visualize Temperatures as colors. For Those creative users interested in elctronics, the sensor inputs can thus be used to connect potentiometer or as 0 - 3.3 V inputs - and with a little creativity, the outputs can be used for other applications as well, for example for fans or if used outside the PC, even for devices Requiring up to 24 Volts.

The Following features are available to control the inking unit's outputs:
1. Direct color selection: Intuitive interface controls of the aquasuite allow a precise selection of the color and adjustments for the intensity and brightness.
2. Adjustable color transitions: The aquasuite can be used to set color transitions Which are Continuously Displayed with adjustable speed to.
3. Effects: A brightness curve can be defined to add a pulsating effect.
4. Control by sensor inputs of the inking: The sensor inputs of the inking unit can be used to change the color of the assigned channel directly. For example a color transition between 20 ° C and 35 ° C can be set in the aquasuite and will be processed by the hardware of the inking.
5. Software sensors (eg CPU load, network, etc.): Like the Aquaero, the inking can be Configured to use software sensor. The communication between the aquasuite and the tools HWiNFO, AIDA and Open Hardware Monitor Allows to use many different system values to control the channels. For example, the CPU load can be used to Automatically adjust the color within a specific range. Since synthesis software sensors can be so Accessed via Bluetooth, it would be Possible to display them on a smartphone.

The inking can be Configured using the free of charge "aquasuite" software and USB connection to the PC on. The aquasuite supports to unlimeted number of connected Simultaneously inking controllers. The configuration is saved in the inking unit's microprocessor, the USB can be disconnected after initial setup. In addition to the USB interface on aquabus or Bluetooth interface is also available DEPENDING on the version of the inking.

aquabus version:
The aquabus version of the inking unit can be connected to at Aquaero 5 or 6 Aquaero controller. The Aquaero can then be Configured to control the outputs of the inking or to transmit sensor data from the Aquaero to the inking unit to be processed by the inking. Up to two controllers can be connected inking to 5/6 of Aquaero Simultaneously. As a matter of course, this version can therefore be used as on USB device without aquabus connection.

Bluetooth version:
The Bluetooth version of ther inking can have all outputs controlled via Bluetooth, additionally all sensor inputs are available via Bluetooth. This requires a Bluetooth device as well as an app. Aquacomputer currently supplies a basic Android app demo Including source code can be used to set did the outputs of the inking. Other mobile operationg systems are not supported! As a matter of course, this version can therefore be used as on USB device without Bluetooth connection.

Comaptible LED strips:
LED strips for 12 V, common anode. Suitable LED strips and connectors are available from Aqua computer.
Maximum current per channel: 2.5 A
Maximum combined current (all channels): 8 A (Resulting in a maximum total power of 96 Watts at 12 Volts)

Scope of delivery:
