Hello all.
I obtained a 24 RGB Led ring today (Adafruit). Apparently needs a 5v supply and a data signal to control it.
I searched RGB led, Adafruit, ring etc in here and nothing came up. Anyone got any idea where there might be a base code for Picaxe?
I know there is one in the Arduino library, but I didn't really want to use an Arduino for this.... (In fact, a Picaxe libary of useful coding would be very handy).
You can control each of the Leds individually, but I am not really worried about doing that.
I would actually like to simply drive the ring through the colours available.
I have a strip of RGB leds here as well, but they simply have R-G-B to them - via a simple Ebay controller. I assume they change colour depending on the voltage mix applied to each input (correct me if I am wrong!)
So.... could I in theory then sample that voltage from the above R-G-B controller and convert that using 3x ADC10 to make the ring light up in the matching colours?
I shall continue Googling...
