NXP's PCA9685 driver
PostPosted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:00 pm     Reply with quote

Recently I needed to work with this chip and couldn't find any driver for it. I hope will be able to help some else with this and maybe get some improvement on the code.
16ch 12bit PWM with 40 to 1000hz period.

Wow your driver looks great! I've been trying to develop a driver for a similar LED driver the PCA9532, with not much luck. I don't have a PCA9685 to test, is there any problems with your code? I'm ordering a couple and I will test it and give you some feedback! Thanks.

Works fine for me, on my second project using this driver..

Dear Friends, did some one achieve to create fade-in and fade-out ramps with this driver? Let say that channel 1 needs to have 5s fade in 30% to 75% and 9 seconds fade out from 100% to 20%?

I need to achieve that the fade-in fade-out values can be customized by clients.

Thanks

Hello, I am interested in what program you wrote the code?
and any text in the file #include <main.h>
Thank you very much for your reply

Добрый день, меня интересует в какой программе вы писали код?
и какой текст находится в файле #include <main.h>
Большое спасибо за ответ

Doubt
PostPosted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 7:12 pm     Reply with quote

Hi Smile I had already generated a PWM signal with this code, but I have the doubt. I try to change two signals with two different percentage like this.
Code:

pca9685_send(LEDDRV1, 4000, 12);
__delay_ms(1000);
pca9685_send(LEDDRV1, 100, 12);
__delay_ms(1000);
}

but it is not possible I would like to know why. Hope I make myself clear.

This means you are using XC8. CCS is different in many ways compared
to XC8. You most likely did not translate the CCS code to XC correctly.

Could you explain what the line output_toggle(PIN_D5) does, please? It's in the void main.

I suspect it's just an LED, which toggles to show activity in the main loop.
If it's toggling, it means the main loop has not locked up. It means the
program is running.

hello,
Can someone help me please. I do not understand that with all_led_on and all_led_off.

Here is his code for that routine:
Quote:
void PCA9685AllLedOff(int address)
{
i2c_start(); // Start
i2c_write(address); // select pca9685
i2c_write(0xfc); // All LED Off register
i2c_write(0b00000000); // data for ALL_LED_OFF_L
i2c_write(0b00010000); // data for ALL_LED_OFF_H
i2c_stop(); // Stop
}


The PCA9685 data sheet says on page 16:
Quote:

Two methods can be used to do an orderly shutdown.
The fastest is to write a logic 1 to bit 4 in register ALL_LED_OFF_H.
The other method is to write logic 1 to bit 4 in each active PWM channel LEDn_OFF_H register.

He is doing the method shown in bold above.

I have already seen that. Which bit do I have to put in order to switch everything back on?

Sending signal to LED15 full on from BeagleBone Black
PostPosted: Wed Aug 05, 2020 3:19 pm     Reply with quote

What would code look like in C programming to send signal on I2C bus from BeagleBone Black to PCA9685 LED15 to FULLON?
