[Group Buy-10] [O] RGB SMD LED (with built-in controller)

[RobG 1,892]

Rob, how much is shipping?

Your shipping is free, I will just ship them with other stuff.

If I counted correctly, you have 30 LEDs left - I'd like to claim them, if possible.

 

Thanks!

[RobG 1,892]

Just FYI, parts are here, strips were tested and are OK.

I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly, so I am not sure if I will be able to ship tomorrow.

 

 

Those are very cool LEDs BTW, one wire 24bit color!

5050/WS2811 code example.
Can be used for any number of LEDs, default is 30 (0.5m strip.)
For faster updates, change data to u_char and send all bytes one by one.

#include <msp430g2553.h>
typedef unsigned char u_char;
typedef unsigned int u_int;
typedef struct {
u_char r;
u_char g;
u_char b;
} RGBLED;
#define DATA_OUT_PIN BIT7
void sendRGB(u_char numberOfLEDs);
RGBLED data[30] = { 0, }; // 0.5m strip
void main(void) {
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;
BCSCTL1 = CALBC1_16MHZ;
DCOCTL = CALDCO_16MHZ;
// setup USIB
P1SEL |= DATA_OUT_PIN;
P1SEL2 |= DATA_OUT_PIN;
UCB0CTL0 |= UCCKPH + UCMSB + UCMST + UCSYNC; // 3-pin, 8-bit SPI master
UCB0CTL1 |= UCSSEL_2; // SMCLK
UCB0BR0 |= 0x03; // 1:3 - 16MHz/3 = 0.1875us
UCB0BR1 = 0;
UCB0CTL1 &= ~UCSWRST;
u_char c = 0;
while (c < 30) {
data[c].r = c << 3;
data[c].g = 255 - (c << 3);
c++;
}
sendRGB(30);
}
void sendRGB(u_char numberOfLEDs) {
u_int c = 0;
u_char led = 0;
u_char leds[3];
u_char d;
while (c < numberOfLEDs) {
leds[0] = data[c].g;
leds[1] = data[c].r;
leds[2] = data[c].b;
while (led < 3) {
u_char b = 0;
d = leds[led];
while (b < 8) {
while (!(IFG2 & UCB0TXIFG))
;
(d & 0x80) ? (UCB0TXBUF = 0xF0) : (UCB0TXBUF = 0xC0);
d <<= 1;
b++;
}
led++;
}
led = 0;
c++;
}
_delay_cycles(800); // delay 50us to latch data, may not be necessary
}

The function below is for faster updates

u_int c = 0;
while (c < numOfIndividualLEDs) {
u_char b = 0;
u_char d = data[c];
while (b < 8) {
while (!(IFG2 & UCB0TXIFG))
;
(d & 0x80) ? (UCB0TXBUF = 0xF0) : (UCB0TXBUF = 0xC0);
d <<= 1;
b++;
}
c++;
}
//_delay_cycles(800); // delay 50us to latch data

Awesome Rob, Thanks!

Booster Pack anyone? Suggestions?

Don't you already have one,.. RGB lamp?

I'd be interested in a couple.

You know I'm always down for booster packs. :grin:

[Rickta59 589]

Thanks for organizing this Rob! Just grabbed my 1m strip from my PO Box.

 

So can i drive the DataIn pin with 3.5volts and power with 5volts with a common ground between them?

 

-rick

[RobG 1,892]

Yes, you can power with 5V and drive with lower voltage.

0.5m (and even 1m) strips can be powered directly from LP, though I would do it just for testing.

Got my LED's today.

 

Got any strips left? I got my LED's today and now wish I ordered some strips.

[cubeberg 540]

RobG - Does this use a standard eagle part, or did you create one? A simple BOB would be pretty cool - especially since I only ordered a handful. Something like this.

I need to start on a wearable 430 board sometime - I've thought about it a couple of times. My kids would probably get a big kick out of it.

[RobG 1,892]

Created one.
