LED Panel control with FlexIO [1]

[#1]

The purpose of this project is the control of a RGB LED panel using the FlexIO peripheral included in the Kinetis K82 microcontroller.

The FlexIO peripheral offers a great advantage, unloading the CPU in the process of refreshing the LED color and brightness information, comparing with other control methods using GPIO bit-banging or PWM + DMA. I will use different method.

The panel will use LED stripes with the WS2812B controller. We will also have a simulation platform for developing the applications.

Hardware:

• 30 x16 LED WS2812B Panel
• Multiplexer board
• FRDM-K82
• Uctronics QVGA display

Software:

• IAR Workbench 7.50.1
• SDK 1.3 for the Kinetis K82
• FreeRTOS
• eGUI graphic library

Hi. Thanks for this project. I can't seem to access the different documents. I'm getting:

Dear Gley,

We have been working to get the software updated so we can share it here, but at this point we only can share the non-software versions until we add the appropriate licenses. As soon as we have the updated software we will place it online.

For your reference here there is a similar project, but not using FlexIO :LED Video panel driven by Kinetis K20

Dear Gley,

The pages have been updated now, please take a look.
