RGB LED Module (Unassembled Kit) (Discontinued)
Discontinued
This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for specification and documents.
Introduction
Note: RGB LED Module (Unassembled Kit) is discontinued now.
This Arduino-compatible module uses three TI TLC5940 PWM LED chips to drive a 4x4 array of RGB LEDs. Each color is controlled by a different chip so you can adjust the reference resistors for the appropriate current. The TLC5940 chips are not directly connected to any Arduino pins, but a header is provided for you to make a manual connection depending on the needs of your sketch.
Up to 16 of these modules can be serially connected to make a fantastic LED wall or a LED circle.
It can be directly connected with Arduino via F/M cables. If you want ,you can also connect it to Interface shield through an IDC2x5 cables,and then plug the Interface shield to Arduino.
If you feel the assignment of the leds is not good enough, you could assign the LEDs in a custom pattern by wiring to the LED driving holes.
