For the LED Matrix we want to build on the [[CCCamp2007]] we decided to design a GNU LEDMatrix Controller/Driver setup. It will consist of two parts the FPGA board and a several driver electronics boards.

Our Matrix should have a resolution of 48x72 pixels. So there will be 48 rows and 72 columns. The basic building block of our ledmatrix will consist of an 8x8 pixel module (or 8x48 or 8x76 depending on the levels of grayscale steps you want).

So how is such  basic building block connected? The cathode (GND) pins of all LEDs in each of the 8 rows are connected to each other. Also all the annode (+) pins of all lesds in each column are connected. Sowe get 8 rows and 8 columns. each column intersects each row and the intersections are the leds. To lighten up one specific led we have to set the row the led is connected to to GND and the column to +5V (we also need a resistor to limit the current). TODO: das besser erklaeren rasteransteuerung etc.

The 8 rows are each connected to a powermosfet and are driven to ground one at a time (so the matrix is 8times multiplexed).
 
−
For driving the mosfets we use 2x Quad-mosfetdriver which in turn are controlled by a 8bit shifting register.
 
−
 
 
−
For the columns we take almost the same components except that we don|t need the mosfets. the mosfet drivers (which consists of mosfets of course - in fact its a half bridge and so contains one pMOS and one nMOS FET) are strong enough to drive a high current led with a constant current of 0.5A and peak currents of 1.5A

There are three data transfer speeds for the I2C bus: standard, fast-mode, and high-speed mode. Standard is '''100 Kbps.''' Fast-mode is '''400 Kbps''', and high-speed mode supports speeds up to '''3.4 Mbps'''. All are backward compatible. The I2C bus supports 7-bit and 10-bit address space devices and devices that operate under different voltages.

New MiniITX Board

VIA EPIA-PD


There are three data transfer speeds for the I2C bus: standard, fast-mode, and high-speed mode. Standard is 100 Kbps. Fast-mode is 400 Kbps, and high-speed mode supports speeds up to 3.4 Mbps. All are backward compatible. The I2C bus supports 7-bit and 10-bit address space devices and devices that operate under different voltages.
