LED Rainbow

RGB LED PWM Driver - v2 Firmware Details

LED Rainbow Assembled Front View

 

Update

Effective March 20, 2009, firmware supplied with the LED Rainbow board is now the version 3.0 code.

Please refer to the Display Sequences page for the very latest information.

The LED Rainbow contains a pre-built set of routines in it. The initial release of the firmware was version 2.0 which contains over 30 various fades, flashes and color combinations.

Each effect is selected by pressing of the Mode (S1) button. The LED Rainbow will remember the last sequence you were using after 10 seconds of viewing it, which when powered on at a later date will automatically start with your last viewed sequence.

We have attempted to describe the various effects below, but the descriptions cannot describe just how good the LED Rainbow displays the combinations. We encourage you to use the chart as a reference.

The last four sequences of the LED Rainbow serve a secondary purpose as well. The three effects before the very last one, each slowly flash the Red, Green and Blue displays as they are selected. This allows you to know and visually reference in relation to the other sequences. The very last sequence is used to signify the version of the firmware you are running. For version two of our code, the Red, Green and Blue displays will have a double flash which indicates version two.
