Arduino RGB LED TLC5940 Controller Shield

RGB Monome project leave behind enough space for full-color control, in order to further TLC5940 experiment on the control, we separately make corresponding module for TCL5940 and RGB LED , to become easy similar RGB LED the project development.
First, this small RGB LED module on the module provides six RGB LED:



Then TLC5940 module, it is designed to easily connect with RGB LED module





Unfortunately, this version of the TLC5940 module in the design of the reference is Monome design, and was designed with common cathode drive, but it don't take the corresponding conversion circuit, so it is actually a not successful design circuit. But no relationship, we only need use the cable to connect VCC and every common port of RGB LED module.Despite not so tidy, but it does not affect the experiment.



We use prototype to connect every pin one by one on Arduino, although it also can do a expanded plate, but there is no need in the prototype test.

So after we link the hardware then we can download software test, the basic experiment use this library of tlc5940arduino, which have been  provided, as the test sample Fades.We need to notice that because the USB can't provide enough current electricity, so we use external power supply to supply power to the whole circuit.The test result is as below:
