The MK2 has arrived.

A project log for Go to Bed LED

Arduino based RGB LED controller built into a bed to help make night time fun for kids and easier for parents.

I finally got round to getting the MK2 board printed, mainly due to my kids wanting to upgrade their beds.

The new board is still 50mmX50mm but now uses an arduino nano to reduce the amount of time it takes to populate the board.

The MK2 now controls 2 sets of RGB Tape, has better mounting points and better input/output connectors and handles both 12v and 24v tape.

I have already got a couple of boards populated and working. My boys did all the easy through hole soldering and I did the surface mount stuff.

Next step is to put them in boxes and add new pots to the beds.
