There is already another thread, where I asked for info, http://forums.netdui...h__1#entry18925 but I see that it doesn't come up on the list (maybe it's too old), so I start a new thread here.
I found very difficult even only to understand the needed wiring, so a very very short mini-tutorial would be really appreciated (not only by me, I'm sure...).
Thanks in advance
Andrea

I found a small but interesting document here: TLC5940 One-Wire Control, where, with an apparently simple wiring, I should be able to turn on and off the entire block of LEDs. The only interesting page is page 3, even if the whole document is there.
I wired the chip in this way:
and used this code to try to get the led flashing:
Thread.Sleep(300); var gsclk = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D0, false); var blank = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D1, true); Thread.Sleep(200); bool enable = false; while (enable) { blank.Write(enable); Thread.Sleep(1); gsclk.Write(!enable); Thread.Sleep(2000); enable = !enable; }
Here I'm supposing I can use the Netduino to turn high and low the two signals GSCLK and BLANK, with a simple delay, as suggested by the document (it uses a subcircuit, there).
The other difference is the capacitor in the bottom of the figure, between Vcc and ground: there are no numbers, and I suppose it's there to stabilize input voltage (or not?).
Please, is there someone who can give a look and enlighten me on anything that can be wrong?
Thanks again.
Andrea
