Step 8Conclusions
I think I was successful in this first approach of my project. I am able to control 16 RGB LEDs with little resources and constraints. It is possible to control each LED separately, creating any desired sequence.
Future work:
If I receive positive feedback from people, I may further develop this idea and make a full DIY Electronics Kit, with printed circuit boards and assembly instructions.
For my next version I'll:
-Change the microcontroller to one with ADC
-Change the MCP23016 for some other kind of serial-in parallel-out that can sink more current from LEDs
-Make open-source software to communicate with the microcontroller and control the LEDs
-Develop the communication between several microcontrollers.
Do you have any suggestion or question?
Or leave a comment!
