Time for me to start making stuff again… It has been FAAARRRR too long. I whipped this together at lunch time today, simple 3 channel PWM using TIP142s. It is driving a 30W RGB LED at 30V, and at peak it runs around 1.8A of draw.

My goal is to use these to wash a few walls in my office with color.
