OK I want to use the TLC5940 to control an RGB LED array from LEDSee which is Common Anode. Datasheet is here :-

This Matrix and the TLC5940 will work together won't they?

OK I have answered my own question by connecting it up last night. Works fine :slight_smile:

Hey Mike,

Cool you got the matrix working? Question for ya, though... I assume you are using some code to scan through each line of the matrix to be able to control each LED individually (using persistence of vision) ?!?! Can you possibly explain how this is working? I understand the theory, but, I haven't tried to write code to do it as of yet.... especially with PWM fading. I thought maybe you could direct me to some good code to learn from. Anyway, thanks in advance, and have fun with the LEDSEE.
