I'm working on a little project which involves controlling 10 RGB LEDs using my Netduino Plus, and I've run into a slight problem.
I want to be able to have all 10 RGB LEDs on maximum brightness simultaneously, but each with its own PWM values for red, green and blue.
I have tried looping through all 10 LEDs really quickly and turning each one on at a time with its own PWM values set, but the LEDs aren't at maximum brightness. This is a test program I have tried:
public static void Main()
{
PWM red = new PWM(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D5);
PWM green = new PWM(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D6);
PWM blue = new PWM(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D9);
OutputPort[] leds = new OutputPort[10];
leds[0] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D2, false);
leds[1] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D3, false);
leds[2] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D4, false);
leds[3] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D7, false);
leds[4] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D8, false);
leds[5] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D10, false);
leds[6] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D11, false);
leds[7] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D12, false);
leds[8] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D13, false);
leds[9] = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A0, false);
while (true)
{
for (int i = 0; i < leds.Length; i++)
{
leds[i].Write(true);
if (i % 2 == 1)
{
red.SetDutyCycle(100);
red.SetDutyCycle(0);
}
else
{
green.SetDutyCycle(100);
green.SetDutyCycle(0);
}
leds[i].Write(false);
}
}
}
What's the easiest way to accomplish this? (10 RGB LEDs, on simultaneously, each with its own PWM values for red, green and blue)
What about using two of these?
Thanks!
