I am using Adafruit LED stripes with 60 LED's per meter. Each LED integrates the W2812B controller. WS2812B uses a serial protocol, and you can control each LED individually. The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing.   https://www.adafruit.com/products/1138   WS2812B is an intelligent control LED light source that the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated in a package.   The data transfer protocol use single NZR communication mode. After the pixel power-on reset, the DIN port receive data from controller, the first pixel collects initial 24bit data, then send to the internal data latch, the other data is sent to the next cascade pixel through the DO port.   LED's in cascade: My LED panel uses 16 rows x 30 columns = 480 leds.   In a first approach, in order to generate the bit stream, a timer in PWM mode could be used and generate two different duty cycles for sending a "0" logic or "1" logic. Using PWM's + DMA can unload the CPU in the generation of each single bit. FlexIO module in the Kinetis K82 can do that in a very effective mode and generate 8 channels simultaneously.   But my objective is to unload the CPU as much as possible in the bit stream generation task and find an easy method of multiplexing the 8 FlexIO outputs. In this way, we can control more LED rows and get a minimum number of interrupts and CPU intervention.   I will use the FlexIO internal data shifters to send the data bit stream. One shifter for each row. As we only have 8 shifters, I can use external multiplexor to increase the number of rows. Unloading the CPU for the LED refresh process, we can mux several rows in each shifter output. The limit of LED’s will be the refresh time of the full panel.   FlexIO block diagram:     How are the "1" and "0" generated?   Each pixel needs 24 bits of Red-Green-Blue value (RGB)   For each row, I need to send 30 x 24 bits of RGB information. But I have to encode the data in the NZR/PWM protocol. I use a lookup table to transform 24 bpp information in 24 x 3 = 72 bits per pixel.     In this way the  DMA can send 30 x 24 x 3 = 1440 bits (A full row)  in 60 transfers of 24 bits into the shifter. We get only one DMA interrupt for each row:       Multiplexer implementation:       Frame Buffer LED:   typedef union { uint32_t  rgb;     struct{       uint8_t  b;       uint8_t  r;         uint8_t  g;       uint8_t  a;     }bytes; }ledrgb;   Extended LED encoded data:   typedef struct {   uint32_t g;   uint32_t r;   uint32_t b; }ledrgb_ext;     Lookup Table:   void init_conv_matrix(void) { videoconv[0]=0x92492400; videoconv[1]=0x92492600; videoconv[2]=0x92493400; videoconv[3]=0x92493600; videoconv[4]=0x9249A400; videoconv[5]=0x9249A600; videoconv[6]=0x9249B400; videoconv[7]=0x9249B600; videoconv[8]=0x924D2400; videoconv[9]=0x924D2600; videoconv[10]=0x924D3400; ... };   Part 3: Software for LED Panel emulation Or Return to Project page: LED Panel control with FlexIO

Nowadays, application with multiple BLDC motors are becoming more common. Therefore, the best option seems to be independent sensorless motor control using single microcontroller. This method provides robust, long life and low cost operation.    Features: This reference design supports sensorless motor control of two Brushless DC (BLDC) motors using a single Kinetis KV11 device. Two BLDC motors are controlled independently, this means each motor can be running at different speed. Demo is friendly controlled and monitored through FreeMASTER.

About this demo This demo shows the usage of a Neural Network (NN) applied for handwritten digit recognition, the NN model runs on the i.MX RT1060 MCU. The main idea of the demonstration is to show the i.MX RT capability to manage a graphical user interface while applying a NN model to recognize handwritten numbers to determine whether a password is correct or wrong. The demonstration is tested by setting a 4-digit password to a 4.3" LCD Panel, then the user must enter the correct password to unlock device; when the password is provided, the digits recognized by the NN are displayed on the screen. A 'Clear' button will erase the previous numbers for the user to try a new password to unlock the device. Technical Introduction and Acknowledgment The demo is available using two different approaches for the model creation and inference engines: TensorFlow Lite and CMSIS-NN using Caffe Framework.   TensorFlow Lite The application note AN12603 describes handwritten digit recognition on embedded systems through deep learning. The digit recognition is performed by a TensorFlow Lite model trained with the MINST dataset containing 60,000 handwritten grayscale images and 10,000 testing examples. This application note, deep dives into every step to achieve the application using Tensorflow Lite and build a GUI using Embedded Wizard.   CMSIS-NN using Caffee Framework The application note AN12781 explores the usage of Deep Neural Networks created in Caffe Framework, this framework allows creating a model and convert it to CMSIS-NN functions to be exported to the i.MX RT platform as source files. The model is also trained for the digit recognition using the MNIST dataset. The document describes the procedure to create, train and deploy the model; in the final step the model is exported a C source files using CMSIS-NN functions and weights that are exported to the i.MX RT1060 project.

Additionally,  the models can be optimized through techniques like quantization and pruning, AN12781 explores the possibility of optimization by creating a new model using Caffe with a quantization to simplify the floating-point data. By reducing the 32-bit floating-point data to an 8-bit and fixed-point format, the memory allocation got reduced and this resulted in a lower-processing power.   Transfer Learning Transfer learning gives machine learning models the ability to apply past experience to quickly and more accurately learn to solve new problems. This technique has become very important in deep learning. AN12892 describes how to perform transfer learning in TensorFlow and a use case example, which aims to improve the performance of the application from AN12603.    Useful Links   Links  AN12603 AN12603 Software AN12781 AN12781 Software AN12892 AN12892 Software eIQ™ for TensorFlow Lite | NXP  Caffe | Deep Learning Framework  Embedded Wizard | Simplify Your GUI Development  What is a Container? | App Containerization | Docker
