Hey folks, I have a ~30cm of UV strip which runs on 12V. My current setup consists of:
1 Arduino Nano
1 18650 battery for powering the UV Strip
1 Power bank for powering the Arduino
1 IR Receiver
1 12V Relay as a switch for the UV Strip
1 MT3608 for increasing the 3.7V 18650 battery to 12V for the Strip.
The question is, the system takes a hell ton of space, and since my only use case is turning on and off the strip with the IR remote. I think that the system can be much smaller. I looked through the web and took assistance from GPT, but the more I asked the GPT the more I got confused. For space and power efficiency, what would be the best combination of parts? As said before, I do not have to use any of the above if not needed, in fact I’d very rather ditch the current setup. The only thing is space and power efficiency. Thanks a lot!
P.S. the setup has to run with a battery since I have no possibility of connecting it to an outlet.
