8-Channel EL Shield
An Arduino-compatible shield for controlling up to 8 channels of EL (electroluminescent) wire or tape. Each channel uses opto-isolated, zero-crossing control for safe and reliable switching. Control EL wire as simply as turning an LED on and off, or use PWM for colourful animated effects.
Compatible with both 5V and 3.3V Arduino boards. Comes with 4 EL wire adaptors (additional adaptors available separately). A 5V invertor is required to power the EL wire (not included).
Key Features
- 8 Channels – Control up to 8 EL wires or tapes independently
- Opto-Isolated – Zero-crossing control for each channel
- PWM Compatible – Create animated lighting effects
- 5V / 3.3V Compatible – Works with standard Arduino boards
