The RGB LED Lighting Shield was designed to drive constant current LEDs.
However, constant voltage LEDs (for example: LED strips) can also be driven with some software changes.

If you are interested to find out how, check out the newly-released Application Note entitled, "Driving LED Strip Lights with the RGB LED Lighting Shield" at

The Arduino sketch can also be downloaded from the same link above.

Hello,

how can I convert either the Arduino Sketch or the Dave v3 (RGBLED_2_Safe) to Dave v4.
BTW, there is no Dave v4 example under the RGB Shield documents...
