These days, addressable LEDs are all the rage. A little chip paired with each LED receives signals and modulates the light output as needed. [John Peterson] was working on a project along these very ...

Actual microcontrollers have powerful bidirectional I/O ports, and you can use different techniques to fully exploit such capabilities. Recent Design Ideas described the “Charlieplexing” method as an ...

http://www.microchip.comLEDs have been a mainstay in modern electronics for over 30 years. Their design requirements are common knowledge, and most designers don't ...

Embedded World 2025: LED design is highlighted by Rutronik with its RAB5 adapter board. It features ams Osram Osire LEDs which are designed for dynamic, ambient lighting. LEDs are customisable to meet ...

Eight-pin microcontrollers offer numerous peripheral features. However, the maximum number of I/O pins available is often limited to six, since two pins would be required for the chip's power supply.

LEDs have a special place in every maker's heart, and it's because we all love the ability to create light at moment's notice. Almost every project I have made over the last two decades has included ...

FTDI Chip is a long-established company providing silicon solutions to “bridge technologies” for mobile devices and consumer electronics, best known for its USB chips used in such embedded development ...
