LED drivers

Hi all,

I'm starting to play with some LED drivers and I see there's a nice library for the TLC 5940. I have the 5941, which I hope won't be much different.

Has anyone tried using the Allegro A6279? It looks like you'd communicate with it in a similar fashion to the TLC5940. I can't seem to find any coding examples for it in any language, let alone the Arduino.

Thanks,
John

I used two A6276 in a 5x5x5 led cube and the chips worked great with a good data sheet. Simple standard 3 output pin interface to an Arduino. Not sure the difference between them and a A6279 you are asking for.

Here is link where I posted an early version of the code I used:

Awesome, this will get me started nicely.

Thanks very much!
