LPC5514JBD64E Use for WS2812.

[Kishore02]

Hi, Is LPC5514JBD64E suitable for working with WS2812 for a beginner. If yes Where Can I get The Code and other Details. 

Thank you.

Yes, the LPC5514JBD64 can be used to drive WS2812 LEDs, although it may require configuring a timer/SCT or SPI-based interface to generate the precise WS2812 timing. For a beginner, I recommend starting with NXP’s MCUXpresso SDK examples and WS2812 driver examples, then adapting them to the LPC5514; the LPC5514 SDK documentation and sample code are available through NXP’s official MCUXpresso resources.

The LPC5514JBD64E (featuring an ARM Cortex-M33 core running up to 150 MHz) is a powerful microcontroller, but it is not the ideal choice for a true beginner when working with WS2812 (NeoPixel) addressable LEDs.

hi @Kishore02 

Thank you for your post!

There is not information about the implementation of WS2812 for the LPC551x, you could use the Programmable Logic Unit to do it, in another devices there are example using the FlexIO modules like in application code hub for the MCXA366: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/appcodehub?search=an-emulating-ws2812-bus-with-flexio-on-mcx366 

Also, there is a post of a colleague that implement it for a Kinetis board: NXP FlexIO Generator for the WS2812B LED Stripe Protocol

Hope this information help as a reference
