It is also known as a DC motor speed controller, means you can control the out put of a single DC power signal with this unit.
yea i know what the pwm is for. But i meant with leds you usually use the pwm to control the brightness when you have them running lower for parking lights, so a brake wire will make the leds brighter. By the running lights I meant that they are only signal purpose. They don't change brightness or anything. They are on or off. I just meant that resistors would be easier than wiring up the pwm. I agree hands on is better. Just finished wiring a sequential signal circuit for new led tails and building was much more helpful then starring at schematics.
