Keyword:

       INHAOS , Arduino , Smart Car , UGV , MassDuino , LE-1600

l  Introduce

The LE-1600 is a 16-way LED expansion board based on MassDuino , the main chip is MD-8088. MD-8088 integrates a wealth of digital peripherals and analog peripherals, it offers great flexibility and play space for the users of the product design. LE -1600 using SPI communication with main processor, its benefits can save a lot of ports. If you have a need, in this way can also extend other modules from the control board, such as the sensor module , ADC acquisition module and so on. MD-8088 chip is editable in the Arduino environment, so we can use a USB to serial cable for LE-1600 for upgrade firmware. The module is high performance low power, low cost , and it support secondary development.

About MassDuino , please refer to: http://www.inhaos.com/uploadfile/otherpic/UM-MASSDUINO-V01-EN.pdf

l  Features

Ø  Can work in master / slave mode SPI Serial Interface

Ø  I2C -compatible two-wire serial communication interface protocols , supporting master and slave device mode

Ø  32 8it general purpose working registers

Ø  Support the expansion of the chip in-circuit debugging functions

Ø  By SWD interface programming for FLASH, EEPROM, system configuration area , the ISP function

Ø  Up to 30 programmable I / O

Ø  High-performance, low -power and low-cost

l  SPI communication ports

  When we use the LE-1600, we can use the DuPong cable to connect it to the master chip SPI communication port.

l  Pin Description

l  SPI Protocol

The LE-1600 was working in SPI Slave mode , after power on , the chip will wait for command form SPI Master ,then implement it if the it received valid command.

The communication protocol as below:

In the master side , the SPI initial code as below:

LE-1600 supported command as below:

l  LED Connection

Below figure show the connection of the LED and LE-1600 , in most application the board can be directly driver a LED with 5V power. if user need to driver a bigger power LED, you can add a power driver for the LED and control by LE-1600.

l  Arduino Source Code

Two code will coming with this board:

1,  LE_1600.rar

    This is arduino source code for LE-1600 , to development the LE-1600 , user need to install MassDuino driver, and write code in arduino , and upload sketch via USB2SERIAL light cable, the relational link as below:
