Hello,
I'd like to convert a project that someone else did to Teensy. The project currently uses overly complex custom made components that are expensive.
It's a battery powered project, currently each unit is powered by 5x 7.4v Lithium ion batteries wired in parallel. The original concept used custom made leds that worked at 7.4v but was upgraded to use ws2811 strips. Currently we use 7805 to step down the voltage to 5v for the strips but I was wondering if there was a better option ? The final project would probably feature one teensy + microsd +xbee with around 350 leds which would all need to be powered from the 7.4v source. This also needs to fit in an aluminum tube that's about 3/4 of an inch in diameter...
Thanks !
