So, today I got myself an Xilence Fan controller - I'm very happy with it, except for one thing. The Red LED's are just a tad too bright. Now, the 4th knob on the fan controller is designed to control the LED brightness...sort of. There's a MIC on the PCB which is (supposed) to make the LED's pulsate with music, but naturally it just picks up fan noise and causes them to flicker - but the knob does indeed control the brightness I'm just wondering if I can somehow bypass the MIC into sending a constant signal or something to that effect, As I'd still like to use the knob for fading the LED's - just without the only choices being, Off, flickering or On. Bridging the connection where the MIC is just causes them to stay turned off. Any ideas? Thanks!
If bridging it made them stay off, it would make sense (without the diagram handy) that making the MIC and 'open' would keep them on. Might be worth a try disconnecting one lead off the MIC and see what happens.
I gave that a go, but oddly with the MIC disconnected the lights just...flicker, just like they would with the MIC connected (But with no response to sound, obviously) I can still keep them solid when they're at full brightness though, as there seems to be a separate notch on the Pot or something like that. It's odd that with no MIC connected they just sit and flicker, I want them solid!
