AW20216S Driver

SPI 18x12 LED matrix driver by Awinic. Supports a maximum of four drivers, each controlling up to 216 single-color LEDs, or 72 RGB LEDs.

AW20216S Datasheet

Usage

The AW20216S driver code is automatically included if you are using the RGB Matrix feature with the aw20216s driver set, and you would use those APIs instead.

However, if you need to use the driver standalone, add this to your rules.mk:

COMMON_VPATH += $(DRIVER_PATH)/led
SRC += aw20216s.c
SPI_DRIVER_REQUIRED = yes

Basic Configuration

Add the following to your config.h:

Define	Default	Description
AW20216S_CS_PIN_1	Not defined	The GPIO pin connected to the first driver's Chip Select pin
AW20216S_CS_PIN_2	Not defined	The GPIO pin connected to the second driver's Chip Select pin
AW20216S_EN_PIN	Not defined	The GPIO pin connected to the drivers' Enable pins
AW20216S_SPI_MODE	0	The SPI mode to use
AW20216S_SPI_DIVISOR	4	The SPI divisor to use
AW20216S_SCALING_MAX	150	The scaling value
AW20216S_GLOBAL_CURRENT_MAX	150	The global current control value

Global Current Control

This setting controls the current sunk by the CSx pins, from 0 to 255. To adjust it, add the following to your config.h:

#define AW20216S_GLOBAL_CURRENT_MAX 150

ARM/ChibiOS Configuration

Depending on the ChibiOS board configuration, you may need to enable and configure SPI at the keyboard level.

LED Mapping

In order to use this driver, each output must be mapped to an LED index, by adding the following to your <keyboardname>.c:

const aw20216s_led_t PROGMEM g_aw20216s_leds[AW20216S_LED_COUNT] = {
/* Driver
 *   |  R          G          B */
    {0, SW1_CS1,   SW1_CS2,   SW1_CS3},
    // etc...
};

In this example, the first LED index on driver 0 has its red channel on SW1_CS1, green on SW1_CS2 and blue on SW1_CS3.

These values correspond to the matrix locations as shown in the datasheet on page 16, figure 16.

API

struct aw20216s_led_t

Contains the PWM register addresses for a single RGB LED.

Members

• uint8_t driver
  The driver index of the LED, from 0 to 3.
• uint8_t r
  The output PWM register address for the LED's red channel.
• uint8_t g
  The output PWM register address for the LED's green channel.
• uint8_t b
  The output PWM register address for the LED's blue channel.

---

void aw20216s_init(pin_t cs_pin)

Initialize the LED driver. This function should be called first.

Arguments

• pin_t cs_pin
  The GPIO connected to the Chip Select pin of the LED driver to initialize.

---

void aw20216s_set_color(int index, uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue)

Set the color of a single LED. This function does not immediately update the LEDs; call aw20216s_update_pwm_buffers() after you are finished.

Arguments

• int index
  The LED index (ie. the index into the g_aw20216s_leds array).
• uint8_t red
  The red value to set.
• uint8_t green
  The green value to set.
• uint8_t blue
  The blue value to set.

---

void aw20216s_set_color_all(uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue)

Set the color of all LEDs.

Arguments

• uint8_t red
  The red value to set.
• uint8_t green
  The green value to set.
• uint8_t blue
  The blue value to set.

---

void aw20216s_update_pwm_buffers(pin_t cs_pin, uint8_t index)

Flush the PWM values to the LED driver.

Arguments

• pin_t cs_pin
  The GPIO connected to the Chip Select pin of the driver.
• uint8_t index
  The index of the driver.
