The heart of the Octobrite is the Texas Instruments TLC5947 24-channel 12 bit PWM controller and current sink driver. Using a very simple shift register interface, each of the red, green, and blue LEDs can be controlled to 4096 levels of brightness. The OctoBrite is suitable for straight-line full color displays such as bar graphs, multiple status indicators, and decorative lighti… text/html 2010-02-05T20:33:59-05:00 Garrett Mace http://docs.macetech.com/doku.php/shifty_vu_shield?rev=1265420039&do=diff The Shifty VU Shield stacks on top of any Arduino with a standard female socket layout. It accepts stereo audio from a computer, CD player, or other audio source. A ShiftBrite header is provided, allowing the Shifty VU shield to visualize the input audio levels on a chain of RGB LED modules. Using the Arduino IDE, any LED visual effect can be synchronized with music or other audio. text/html 2009-10-27T13:16:24-05:00 Garrett Mace http://docs.macetech.com/doku.php/chronodot?rev=1256663784&do=diff The ChronoDot RTC is an extremely accurate real time clock module, based on the DS3231 temperature compensated RTC (TCXO). It includes a CR2016 battery which should last at least 8 years if the I2C interface is only used while the device has 5V power available. No external crystal or tuning capacitors are required. text/html 2009-10-26T03:00:06-05:00 Garrett Mace http://docs.macetech.com/doku.php/hardware_spi_example?rev=1256540406&do=diff A more polished example using the Arduino hardware SPI (does not work as-is on the Mega). /* Ports and Pins Direct port access is much faster than digitalWrite. You must match the correct port and pin as shown in the table below.

The performance will be a little bit slower, but the ability to select any pins for communication will make it much easier to integrate ShiftBrites with applications that need to use hardware SPI, like the Arduino Ethernet Shield. text/html 2009-08-05T01:53:09-05:00 Garrett Mace http://docs.macetech.com/doku.php/start?rev=1249451589&do=diff macetech documentation This is the official macetech product documentation wiki.
