Hi, I'm research a project and I'm quickly realizing I'm electronically challenged!

 

Ok I purchased this LED lighting setup for my Reef Aquarium.  

http://www.rapidled....k-dimmable-kit/

and I chose the Mean Well ELN-60-48P drivers

 

My end goal was to control these with my netduino but I can't figure out how to setup the circuit for the drivers.  I'm sure there's a post where someone has done something similar but I'm just unsure of which direction is correct. The drivers require a 10v PWM input for LED dimming so I need a circuit that can supply that using the 3.3v from the netduino.   This is about the best example I've found.

 

This person has a 5V input voltage but I'm not sure the netduino's 3.3v is enough.

Here's another one but again I'm just not sure.

Anyone have a good example?

 

Thanks

Well I found this and it appears to do what I want.  I sent them a few questions just to make sure.  Anyone have any experience with this?

hi

 

look at this

if you want 10v, i think you use transistor and external power for 10v

Thanks.  Yea I've actually seen that exact article.  The problem I'm having with most articles like this and the others I've posted is that I'm not sure what transistor to buy....  And almost every article has the resistors in different places.
