Extending PWM output pins with a Texas Instruments TLC5940 LED driver using arduino

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By

Introduction Microcontrollers like the Arduino were designed to facilitate the use of electronics for designers and DIY enthusiasts. The interface provides a great starting points for a variety of elecronic circuit designs. However, as the microcontroller is standardized, it is also limited in its use. That shows for example in the limited number of PWM …
