TLC59116 Confusion

Trying to get a TLC59116 - i2c LED PWM driver to work.

I can't seem to understand the datasheet around device addressing.
Trying the code below, but doesn't work :-

Code: 
	hi2csetup i2cmaster,$c0,i2cslow,i2cbyte 'set base address
	hi2cout $d0,($00,$01) 'enable LED all call address & turn on OSC
	hi2cout $d0,($02,$FF) 'LED 0 to max brightness
	hi2cout $d0,($03,$FF) 'LED 1 to max brightness
	hi2cout $d0,($04,$FF) 'LED 2 to max brightness
	hi2cout $d0,($05,$FF) 'LED 3 to max brightness
	hi2cout $d0,($06,$FF) 'LED 4 to max brightness
Any Help appreciated.

Tried to attach the datasheet PDF but it's too large.
Link to data sheet. http://www.ti.com/product/TLC59116/datasheet

The slave address of $C0 looks correct, but requires that A0-A3 be pulled low. So I assume that you have tied these pins to ground. Also it looks the reset pin should be pulled high vial a 10K resistor. Other than that I have little to offer except to study the datasheet, especially Section 10, Application information.

Yep, A0-3 pulled low, Reset pulled high. + off course - pull ups on SDA & SCL.

It's actually mounted on a PCB with a dual Common Anode 7 Seg display.

I shall experiment further tomorrow.

try:
Code: 
	hi2csetup i2cmaster,$c0,i2cslow,i2cbyte 'set base address
	hi2cout $00,($01) 'enable LED all call address & turn on OSC
	hi2cout $02,($FF) 'LED 0 to max brightness
	hi2cout $03,($FF) 'LED 1 to max brightness
	hi2cout $04,($FF) 'LED 2 to max brightness
	hi2cout $05,($FF) 'LED 3 to max brightness
	hi2cout $06,($FF) 'LED 4 to max brightness

That doesn't work.

The base address is C0, but the data sheet is confusing to me for how commands are sent with either the 'LED all call' or sub addresses.

A nights sleep & I've sussed it !.

Code: 
	hi2csetup i2cmaster,$d0,i2cslow,i2cbyte 'default LED all call address 
	hi2cout $00,($08) 'enable sub address 1
	hi2csetup i2cmaster,$d2,i2cslow,i2cbyte 'sub address 1

	hi2cout $14,($ff) 'LED output state register 0
	hi2cout $15,($ff) 'LED output state register 1
	hi2cout $16,($ff) 'LED output state register 2
	hi2cout $17,($ff) 'LED output state register 3

	hi2cout $02,($ff) 'LED 0 full brightness
	hi2cout $03,($ff) 'LED 1 full brightness
	hi2cout $04,($ff) 'LED 2 full brightness
	hi2cout $05,($ff) 'LED 3 full brightness
	hi2cout $06,($ff) 'LED 4 full brightness

D0 is enabled by default at power up, datasheet says not to use this for general I/O and to use a sub address.

Here's my working code for a 2 Digit Automotive Temp Display (just completed & tested it).

Code: 
#rem
2 Dig Temperature Guage using TLC59116
Driving common anode twin 7 seg display
Uses DS18B20 as temp sensor

Version 1.0, January 2015


Right Digit

hi2cout $03,($XX)	'C
hi2cout $04,($XX)	'D
hi2cout $05,($XX)	'E
hi2cout $0e,($XX)	'G
hi2cout $0f,($XX)	'F
hi2cout $10,($XX)	'A
hi2cout $11,($XX)	'B

Left Digit
hi2cout $06,($XX)	'DP
hi2cout $07,($XX)	'C
hi2cout $08,($XX)	'D
hi2cout $09,($XX)	'E
hi2cout $0a,($XX)	'G
hi2cout $0b,($XX)	'F
hi2cout $0c,($XX)	'A
hi2cout $0d,($XX)	'B

($00) is LED off, (&FF) is LED max brightness
I use ($7f) to reduce current & heat
