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.

一个直径为5mm的LED，3-Pin 2.54mm排针，V接电源，G接地，S信号通过一个三极管放大控制LED的导通或关闭。您可以向S输出静态的高低电平信号，也可以输出变化的PWM信号，信号电平可以是3.3V或5V。当您向S输出高电平时LED以最大亮度发光，低电平就完全熄灭，可变占空比的PWM信号可以调节发光的亮度。我们提供红、绿、白三种颜色的配件供您购买。

==Compile & Run Test Program==
 +
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.
 +
 
 +
Compile and install Matrix:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ cd matrix
 +
$ make && make install
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
Run test program:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ matrix-gpio_out
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.<br>
 +
Here is what you should observe:<br>
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
1: gpio status change
 +
2: gpio status change
 +
3: gpio status change
 +
4: gpio status change
 +
5: gpio status change
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
The LED will be blinking continuously.
 +
 
 +
==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:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">

 +
    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(atoi(argv[1]));
 +
    if ((ret = exportGPIOPin(pin)) == -1) { 
 +
        printf("exportGPIOPin(%d) failed\n", pin);

Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.<br>
 +
* The nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
 +
* The nanopi 2 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi 2
 +
* The tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412

 +
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ sudo apt-get install git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
Clone the matrix code from GitHub
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

On this module we put a 5mm LED and extend all pins to a 3-Pin 2.54mm spacing pin header. Pin V is power, G is grounded and S is data 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. We provide red, green and white LED modules.

LED

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.

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;
}
