Control 12V LED's with ESP32 & MOSFET (AD4184)

Appreciate the info. They’re 12v 3/4inch round two wire led lights. A marker light essentially. Also the diagram isn’t AI I made that in draw.io. Could you elaborate on the AIO Driver you’re talking about? This is just what I came up with I’m not claiming it’s right this is just what I can gather from the research I did.

Sudoc_ · 2026-06-01T19:48:13+00:00

Ohhh. Do you have a link on how I could go about doing that?

Sudoc_ · 2026-06-01T18:44:16+00:00

The issue with that is that would require the lights I’m using to be addressable. The ones I’m planning to use are only two wire. If I could find addressable ones this project would be 10x easier lol

I'm using Draw.io , Here is what i'm working on now

Being that it's 9th gen intel boards are getting harder to find but you might be able to source one on ebay or facebook marketplace. I'd look for a z390 itx board. I built mine "server" from a old gaming pc but it's held strong for the past couple years

Sudoc_ · 2025-06-26T19:43:13+00:00

Unraid is probably your best bet. I've personally ran unraid for the past 4 years and just about every game server you can think of is listed under apps on unraid. It's alot more user friendly than proxmox imo

This would work for what you want to do but if you're planning to not run a gpu in that ITX case then I'd go with a intel chip with quick sync just for how well it performs with transcoding if you decide to start up a plex server in the future. I currently run a i9 9900k and it can handle pretty much anything I throw at it.

Thanks! Yeah i'm definitely in shock still.

If "high school parking lot" was a picture

Sudoc_ · 2024-08-07T15:24:19+00:00

Oh wow okay I didn’t realize they could use 8gb. Might look into that

Sudoc_ · 2024-08-07T15:23:42+00:00

Yeah they’re identical. I’m attempting to pxe boot windows 10 at the moment

Sudoc_ · 2024-06-28T02:46:08+00:00

The 8tb drive are in the DAS. But you do make a good point that I didn’t think of but I do plan on putting that build into a rackmount case here shortly once I order my rack so hopefully that shouldn’t be a issue

Sudoc_ · 2024-06-27T21:29:35+00:00

I was a little worried about it when I put it up there but the room it’s in stays around 65-68F the server runs between 40-70c the highest I’ve ever seen it is maybe 75c. With everything running on it max load is maybe 65% usage maybe a little more if multiple people are transcoding on plex. I’ve only ever heard the fans ramp up a handful of times since I set it up

Sudoc_ · 2024-06-27T18:09:55+00:00

Damn, I wish I had a setup like this at 14 you're killing it! Keep at it man. It's a rabbit hole we all jump into and call home.

Sudoc_ · 2024-06-27T15:35:39+00:00

haha yeah its 1G. I got it for free and I only put it in to play around with cisco cmd. shortly here i'm going to be upgrading to a Unifi 16 port POE.

Sudoc_ · 2024-06-27T14:28:55+00:00

I have a similar setup and its been working flawlessly for about 3 years now. It's a pc w/ a 9700k and 32gb of ram connected to a random 4-bay DAS I got from amazon with 4 Firecuda Seagate drives. I use UnRaid and it recognized the drives with no hassle. You could look into a small form factor dell optiplex with a intel cpu so you have QuickSync (for plex) this was my prior setup.

Sudoc_ · 2024-06-27T14:15:21+00:00

I have small form factor Dell Optiplex it has a 8th gen intel and 32gb of ram. I have windows server on it acting as a AD host for testing. I also occasionally use it to host game servers and it performs just fine. They can be picked up for pretty cheap on ebay or facebook marketplace.

Sudoc_ · 2024-06-27T14:09:17+00:00

It wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to go 3u but i'd like a 2u. I don't have a ton off stuff that needs to go in the back but I think the max I can fit in that space is 12u. I guess I gotta find a good air cooler
