	The strips require up to 360mA per output (18 LEDs x 20mA) so I used an NPN bipolar transistor to drive them. The transistors support up to 600mA so there's plenty of headroom left. The transistors are fairly cheap so it makes for a simple, inexpensive solution. The controller design used the [[The_Renard_SS24_Controller_Board\|Ren24SS]] as a base, using the same PIC, clocking and serial interface configuration but expanded to 6 PICs to support 48 channels or driving up to 12 strips per board. Because of this, the controller supports standard [[Renard_Firmware#Regular_Firmware\|Renard protocol FW]] using RS-232/485 as well as the [[Renard_Firmware#DMX_firmware\|DMX]] version. The board requires either a 5vdc well regulated supply or a good 9- 12vdc supply. The input supply also drives the LED strips.

	The Ren48LSD ('''L'''ED '''S'''trip '''D'''river) controller came about as a solution to drive Frank's LED Super Strips. Originally I used [[DCSSR\|DCSSRs]] to drive them and while it's a workable solution, it tends to be somewhat bulky and requires lots of additional wiring between the controller and DCSSRs as well as to the strips themselves. Another alternative is [[~~24_Channel_Renard_without~~\|Frank's Ren24LV]] which uses ULN2803 drivers. The issue with this solution is that it has limitations in how much power it can sink to the strips due to the ULN2803 package power dissipation.
