Today, we’re going to explore the uses of addressable LEDs. Addressable LED is an easy way to add complex lighting effects to any project. Each addressable LED has an integrated driver that allows you ...

The most fascinating project you can build is something with a bunch of blinky hypnotic LEDs, and the easiest way to build this is with a bunch of individually addressable RGB LEDs. [Ole] has a great ...

While the gold standard for colorful blinky projects are individually controllable RGB LEDs, the usual offerings aren’t really that impressive. Yes, a few hundred Neopixels, WS2812, or other RGB LEDs ...

Actual microcontrollers have powerful bidirectional I/O ports, and you can use different techniques to fully exploit such capabilities. Recent Design Ideas described the “Charlieplexing” method as an ...

LEDs have a special place in every maker's heart, and it's because we all love the ability to create light at moment's notice. Almost every project I have made over the last two decades has included ...

This “Product How-To” article focuses how to use a certain product in an embedded system and is written by a company representative. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged in recent years as ...

OSIRE® E3731i intelligent RGB LED enables creation of dynamic color and motion effects across hundreds of LEDs The intelligent RGBi uses a new and license-free Open System Protocol for communication ...

There are many power management methods that can be used for LED lighting. You can drive them via a number of dedicated driver ICs available on the market, or even use microcontroller units (MCUs) for ...

The algorithm in this microcontroller design this design drives an LED matrix and provides digital-voltage-readout and bar-like dot displays, showing dots for a graphical output if the input value is ...
