RGB color combos using dip switch

[araffa040872]

Hello,

I am looking to modify one of my blades with a 3 DIP switch. Each DIP will control a color to toggle it on/off.

The idea is to toggle in all combos to get all 7 colors.

My question is, if I have the switches in a setting like : R / R / G, the idea would be to get yellow. But if 2 reds are on with 1 green, wouldn't the red overpower the green ? Or would I essentially be getting something close to orange ?

I guess I could toggle one light off and just keep R/G/off to get an even mix. But I don't want to lose any brightness.

Does this make sense ?

Sorry if I poorly explained it.

Thanks.

What kind of LED are you planning to use?

Ah. With what you are thinking of doing, you may be better off with a Tri-Rebel R/G/rB.

that makes sense. Engin LZ4 seems overkill.

Do you think Tri-Rebel would work in a Joe Jedi?

Aside from that does my original post make any sense ? In other words, do you think a setting of R/R/G for example would would overpower the green? Or if I were to toggle any of the 3 DIPS to off lets say off/R/off, make a really dim blade ?

Again sorry if I am not making much sense. I am quite the noob at this so far.

thanks again.

It couldn't be any worse than what you have now. I don't really deal with conversions and/or economy boards. SS (or one of the others more experienced in this area) will probably be along later to chime in on this, he knows more in this specific area than I do.
