NOTES
1/ Pins 1-8 can be used either to drive eight
actuators with digital (on/off) signals, or can be digitally decoded to give
255 lines of digital (on/off) control.
2/ For colour control use the G, G and B High lines in digital mode to get 7
colour control. Each of the the Red low and high signals can be decoded to
give 4 levels of brightness for each colour.
3/ The digital ground and analogue grounds are separate. Do not use the
digital ground with analogue signals and vice versa.
4/ CAUTION: do not short these pins to ground or any other voltages as it
may cause damage to your computer power supply. Insulate from any nearby
pins and fuse at 1 amp max.
