Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LP5864, TUSB3410
Hello,
I have a specific requirement to drive a LED array consisting of 60 LEDs, with 30 IR LEDs and 30 RED LEDs. After researching the capabilities of the TLC5944, I believe that using four TLC5944 drivers would fulfill my requirements.
My main objective is to be able to individually turn on and off the LEDs. I intend to sequentially control each LED, ensuring that only one LED is on at a time. Additionally, I need the ability to adjust the brightness of each LED independently. I am seeking guidance on whether this driver is capable of achieving these functionalities.
If it is indeed possible to control the on/off state and brightness of the LEDs using the TLC5944, I would appreciate some information on how to accomplish this. For instance, do I need to send data to the grayscale shift register? Could you provide an example of how I could turn on LED0 for driver0? Would I simply send the value 0000 0001 to the driver?
Furthermore, during my research, I discovered that TI provides a TLC594x Family evaluation software. I am interested in utilizing this software with our self-developed board that incorporates the TLC5944 along with an STM32 MCU. Is it feasible to use the TLC594x Family evaluation software with the TLC5944 on a custom board?
I attempted to launch the software, but encountered issues with its functionality. Is there an alternative method or any additional resources available that would enable access to this software?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
