The module has three 2.54 mm spacing pins: V(supply voltage),G(ground) and S(signal) which is connected to a triode to turn the LED on or off. You can write high or low, or PWN signals(3.3V or 5V) to S. When you write high to S the LED will turn on and become brightest. When you write low to S the LED will turn off. If you write PWM signals to S the LED's brightness will vary depending on the PWM's signal variances. | The module has three 2.54 mm spacing pins: V(supply voltage),G(ground) and S(signal) which is connected to a triode to turn the LED on or off.

1 Introduction
The Matrix-LED is an LED module with three 2.54 mm spacing pins: V(supply voltage),G(ground) and S(signal) which is connected to a triode to turn the LED on or off. You can write high or low, or PWN signals(3.3V or 5V) to S. When you write high to S the LED will turn on and become brightest. When you write low to S the LED will turn off. If you write PWM signals to S the LED's brightness will vary depending on the PWM's signal variances.
2 Features
- GPIO/PWM interface, 3.3/5V, PWM brightness control
- Small, easy to be used in various situations
- 2.54 mm spacing pin
- PCB Dimension(mm): 8 x 24
- Pin Description:
Pin | Description |
S | GPIO |
V | Supply Voltage 5V |
G | Ground |
3 Basic Device Operation
The module has three 2.54 mm spacing pins: V(supply voltage),G(ground) and S(signal) which is connected to a triode to turn the LED on or off. You can write high or low, or PWN signals(3.3V or 5V) to S. When you write high to S the LED will turn on and become brightest. When you write low to S the LED will turn off. If you write PWM signals to S the LED's brightness will vary depending on the PWM's signal variances.

5 Compile & Run Test Program
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git $ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.
Compile and install Matrix:
$ cd matrix $ make && make install
Run test program:
$ matrix-gpio_out
Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:
1: gpio status change 2: gpio status change 3: gpio status change 4: gpio status change 5: gpio status change
The LED will be blinking continuously.
6 Code Sample
This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-gpio_out". Here is its source code:
int main(int argc, char ** argv) { int pin = GPIO_PIN(7); int i, value, board; int ret = -1; if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) { printf("Fail to init board\n"); return -1; } if (board == BOARD_NANOPI_T2) pin = GPIO_PIN(15); if (argc == 2) pin = GPIO_PIN(atoi(argv[1])); if ((ret = exportGPIOPin(pin)) == -1) { printf("exportGPIOPin(%d) failed\n", pin); } if ((ret = setGPIODirection(pin, GPIO_OUT)) == -1) { printf("setGPIODirection(%d) failed\n", pin); } for (i = 0; i < STATUS_CHANGE_TIMES; i++) { if (i % 2) { value = GPIO_HIGH; } else { value = GPIO_LOW; } if ((ret = setGPIOValue(pin, value)) > 0) { printf("%d: GPIO_PIN(%d) value is %d\n", i+1, pin, value); } else { printf("setGPIOValue(%d) failed\n", pin); } sleep(1); } unexportGPIOPin(pin); return 0; }
