Dev kit simplifies dynamic RGB-LED application development
EP&T Magazine
Automation / Robotics Electronics Optoelectronics automotive dev kit RGB-LEDMELEXIS ADK81116 application development kit is designed to simplify the development of dynamic RGB-LED automotive applications. Comprehensive solution comes with pre-loaded configurable firmware. It eliminates the need for firmware development, replacing it with straightforward calibration and configuration through a user-friendly graphic user interface (GUI). To enable accurate color mixing in a typical dynamic RGB application, it is necessary to develop firmware that allows for diagnostics, system integration, and calibration of the base pulse width modulation (PWM) settings. Additionally, the firmware must undergo extensive testing and validation before it is ready for production. Included in the application development kit are the necessary wiring harness, a power supply, and an evaluation lighting stripe with 30 RGB LEDs in multiplex mode driven by five MLX81116AAE IC drivers.
