Description

Simple Red/Green/Blue/White PWM LED Driver.


Introduction

The Simple RGBW PWM LED Driver is a module for the LED driver that provides functionality for controlling Red/Green/Blue/White LEDs that are driven by PWM.


RGBW PWM LED Configuration

RGBW PWM LEDs use the sl_led_t struct, and their own structs sl_simple_rgbw_pwm_led_context_t and sl_led_rgbw_pwm_t . These are automatically generated into the following files, as well as instance specific headers with macro definitions in them. The samples below are for a single instance called "inst0".

RGBW PWM LED Usage

The RGBW PWM Led driver provides functionality for controlling Red/Green/Blue/White LEDs that are driven by PWM. The LEDs can be turned on and off and toggled, and remember their color and brightness state when being turned back on. The color and brightness can be set using values of 0-65535 for red, green, blue, and white. Retrieving the state gives the on/off value, while retrieving the color gives the rgbw values. The following code shows how to control these LEDs. An LED should always be initialized before calling any other functions with it.

// initialize rgbw LED
sl_led_init (&rgbw_led_inst0);
// turn on LED, set color to purple, turn off, toggle (would maintain purple color)
sl_led_turn_on (&rgbw_led_inst0);
uint16_t white = 65535; // max brightness
uint16_t red = 65535; // max red
uint16_t green = 0; // no green
uint16_t blue = 65535; // max blue
sl_led_set_rgbw_color(&rgbw_led_inst0, red, green, blue, white);
sl_led_turn_off (&rgbw_led_inst0);
sl_led_toggle (&rgbw_led_inst0);
// get the state of the led
sl_led_state_t state = sl_led_get_state (&rgbw_led_instance0);
