1 Introduction

Matrix-RGB LED.png
  • The Matrix-RGB_LED is a RGB LED module. It has a 2.54mm pitch pin-header in which 5V is power supply, GND is ground, and R,G,B are connected to the LED’s red, green and blue pins.
  • The inputs to Pin R, G and B can be either GPIO signals or PWM signals. The signal level can be either 3.3V or 5V. When the inputs to Pin R,G and B are high the LED will be the brightest.When the inputs to Pin R,G and B are low the LED will be completely off. When the inputs are PWM signals the LED's brightness can be controlled by controlling the PWM's duty cycle.

2 Features

  • GPIO or PWM input, 3.3/5V, LED lightness controllable via PWM
  • Small
  • 2.54 mm pitch pin-header
  • PCB dimension(mm): 16 x 24

3 Basic Device Operation

  • In the RGB_LED module three one-color LEDs(one red,one green and one blue) are housed in a single package.These three LEDs share one common anode or cathode.When applying control signals to the other three leads their corresponding LEDs will be on. When two or three LEDs are on simultaneously a different color will be produced.You can produce different colors by adjusting PWM signals' duty cycle.

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-rgb_led

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:

Set RGB LED: 0
Set RGB LED: 1
Set RGB LED: 2
Set RGB LED: 3
Set RGB LED: 4
Set RGB LED: 5
Set RGB LED: 6
Set RGB LED: 7

You will see the LED displaying different colors.

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-rgb_led". Here is its source code:

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int ret = -1;
    int val, board;
 
    if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) {
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
        return -1;
    }
    if (board == BOARD_NANOPI_T2) {
        ledPin1 = GPIO_PIN(15);
        ledPin2 = GPIO_PIN(16);
        ledPin3 = GPIO_PIN(17);
    }
    if ((ret = exportGPIOPin(ledPin1)) == -1) {
        printf("exportGPIOPin(%d) failed\n", ledPin1);
    }
    if ((ret = setGPIODirection(ledPin1, GPIO_OUT)) == -1) {
        printf("setGPIODirection(%d) failed\n", ledPin1);
    }
    if ((ret = exportGPIOPin(ledPin2)) == -1) {
        printf("exportGPIOPin(%d) failed\n", ledPin2);
    }
    if ((ret = setGPIODirection(ledPin2, GPIO_OUT)) == -1) {
        printf("setGPIODirection(%d) failed\n", ledPin2);
    }
    if ((ret = exportGPIOPin(ledPin3)) == -1) {
        printf("exportGPIOPin(%d) failed\n", ledPin3);
    }
    if ((ret = setGPIODirection(ledPin3, GPIO_OUT)) == -1) {
        printf("setGPIODirection(%d) failed\n", ledPin3);
    }
    signal(SIGINT, intHandler);
    for (val = 0; val < 8; val++) {
        printf("Set RGB LED: %x\n", val);
        setRGBLED(val);
        usleep(1000 * 1000);
    }
    unexportGPIOPin(ledPin1);
    unexportGPIOPin(ledPin2);
    unexportGPIOPin(ledPin3);
    return 0;
}
