Technical specifications

Product					SeeRGB actuator
Version					1.0 (September 2016)
Actuator type					RGB LED indicator
Power supply					3.5 to 5 V DC, 1.5 to 60 mA (max) at 5 V
Actuator dimensions					16 x 16 x 10 mm (0.63 x 0.63 x 0.39 inch)
Weight					11 g (0.39 oz), incl. cable
Cable					1.0 m (39 inch), shielded, red wire = power, black wire = ground, grey wire = I2C data (SDA), white wire = I2C clock (SCL), extension tested upto 5.0 m (16 ft) with ExtendCableD-01 and upto 20 m (66 ft) with ExtendCableD-10
Connector					male 1x4 plug with 4 pins in a row spaced 2.54 mm (0.100 inch)
Software support					Our EditorX software allows you to configure the digitizer to control multiple actuators simultaneously. 23 Jul 2019: PitchColor v1.10 for MacOS and Windows from source code in Max. For multiple actuators, run multiple instances of the application, each started in its own folder. Use together with Connect (MacOS / Windows). The PitchColor app includes a widget to control the color of the SeeRGB manually or via MIDI. 19 Jan 2018: PitchColor v1.01 for MacOS and Windows from source code in Max. For multiple actuators, run multiple instances of the application, each started in its own folder. Use together with Connect (MacOS / Windows). The PitchColor app includes a widget to control the color of the SeeRGB manually or via MIDI. 03 Nov 2017: PitchColor v1.00 for MacOS (Sierra or lower) and Windows from source code in Max. For multiple actuators, run multiple instances of the application, each started in its own folder. Use together with Connect (MacOS / Windows). The PitchColor app includes a widget to control the color of the SeeRGB manually or via MIDI. On MacOS, if upon attempting to run the app a popup appears stating that the app is damaged, type "sudo spctl �??master-disable" in a terminal to bypass the Apple Gatekeeper. See also eg. this post.
Application notes					Make sure the sensor is plugged into the digitizer with the red wire connected to power. Reversing the plug may cause damage to the sensor. Requires a digitizer with digital (I2C) ports, eg. the USB-microDig or the Wi-microDig. The default I2C address is 9 (0x09). Both I2C lines have 10 kOhm pull-up resistors. Our software enables you to use most features. For more technical specs, and to find out how to control the actuator in detail, please consult this datasheet. Since the maximum current draw is 60 mA, use at most 4 SeeRGB on a USB-microDig or Wi-microDig, since these digitizers can supply at most approx. 240 mA. To extend the cable, use ExtendCableD-01.
