Colorduino
-Magic RGB LED matrix driver platform
Overview
The Colorduino is a RGB LED matrix driver platform basis on ATMega 328P. This
design is to make user easily modify or write the firmware of Colorduino by
Arduino IDE. Colorsduino pairs the M54564 with a single DM163 constant
current driver. By using the DM163, the Colors shield gains three 8+6-bit
channels of hardware PWM control of the LEDs freeing up the MCU from having
to implement it in software. This gives the ATmega more CPU bandwidth for
performing other tasks. Colorduino is easy to cascade by IIC and Power
interface.
