Interfacing the Launchpad with TLC5940 16-channel PWM driver


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

Here is my attempt to demo a TLC5940 PWM LED driver connected to the Launchpad. This code does not use interrupts and follows the basic sample from Demystifying TLC5940: http://sites.google.com/site/artcfox/demystifying-the-tlc5940

 

Made using CCS 4.

 

/*
* TLC5940 Demo for MSP430
* Only PWM functionality is demonstrated
* Dot correction function is not used
* Rotates a pattern of decreasing light intensity on LEDs - OUT0..OUT15
* To pause, press and hold the S2 button on the launchpad
* Launchpad LED1 stays on, LeED2 flashes on every PWM cycle
*/
