Morning all!
In efforts to control many RGB leds CC, ran into what seems a familiar issue. PWM outputs. I have used max7219 in the past to control 8x8 led matrix. Used picaxe 28x1 and 28x2 successfully! But just monochrome red or green.
Adafruit has a 16 pwm driver here is the link:
https://learn.adafruit.com/16-channel-pwm-servo-driver/overview
It can control each 16 outputs Pwm's independently, also be chained up upto 62 of them. Thats 992 outputs.
It uses I2C. 2 wires for communication.
Each chip has its own address asignated by user!
Here are my questions;
Have anyone used these in the past with picaxe?
Do anyone have a code snippet we can take a look at?
A guide?
Circuit diagram on how to attach to picaxe and outputs?
I will start to read the data sheet soon and find spare time to keep posting findings!
Thanks forum!
