Any reason I couldn't take the 0-10V signal from the apex, run it through a voltage divider to bring it down to 5V, and then use a barebones arduino chip (about 10$ worth of parts) to read the analog value, convert it to a 0-255 value and output it to a PWM pin?
I have 5 pwm led drivers that I'd rather not have to replace if I can.
I've already proven the concept on a breadboard with the apex out of the loop (using a power supply with a pot to simulate 0-10V)
I'm just wondering if the voltage divider risks causing problems (or damage) to the apex unit itelf?
