IS31FL3218 Driver

I²C LED driver by Lumissil. Supports up to 18 single-color LEDs, or 6 RGB LEDs.

IS31FL3218 Datasheet

Usage

The IS31FL3218 driver code is automatically included if you are using the LED Matrix or RGB Matrix feature with the is31fl3218 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/issi
SRC += is31fl3218-mono.c # For single-color
SRC += is31fl3218.c # For RGB
I2C_DRIVER_REQUIRED = yes

Basic Configuration

Add the following to your config.h:

Define Default Description
IS31FL3218_SDB_PIN Not defined The GPIO pin connected to the driver's shutdown pin
IS31FL3218_I2C_TIMEOUT 100 The I²C timeout in milliseconds
IS31FL3218_I2C_PERSISTENCE 0 The number of times to retry I²C transmissions

I²C Addressing

The IS31FL3218's 7-bit I²C address is 0x54, available as IS31FL3218_I2C_ADDRESS.

ARM/ChibiOS Configuration

Depending on the ChibiOS board configuration, you may need to enable and configure I²C 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 is31fl3218_led_t PROGMEM g_is31fl3218_leds[IS31FL3218_LED_COUNT] = {
/*   R     G     B */
    {OUT1, OUT2, OUT3},
    // etc...
};

In this example, the red, green and blue channels for the first LED index all have their anodes connected to VCC, and their cathodes on the OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3 pins respectively.

For the single-color driver, the principle is the same, but there is only one channel:

const is31fl3218_led_t PROGMEM g_is31fl3218_leds[IS31FL3218_LED_COUNT] = {
/*   V */
    {OUT1},
    // etc...
};

API

struct is31fl3218_led_t

Contains the PWM register addresses for a single RGB LED.

Members

  • uint8_t r
    The output PWM register address for the LED's red channel (RGB driver only).
  • uint8_t g
    The output PWM register address for the LED's green channel (RGB driver only).
  • uint8_t b
    The output PWM register address for the LED's blue channel (RGB driver only).
  • uint8_t v
    The output PWM register address for the LED (single-color driver only).

void is31fl3218_init(void)

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


void is31fl3218_write_register(uint8_t reg, uint8_t data)

Set the value of the given register.

Arguments

  • uint8_t reg
    The register address.
  • uint8_t data
    The value to set.

void is31fl3218_set_color(int index, uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue)

Set the color of a single LED (RGB driver only). This function does not immediately update the LEDs; call is31fl3218_update_pwm_buffers() after you are finished.

Arguments

  • int index
    The LED index (ie. the index into the g_is31fl3218_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 is31fl3218_set_color_all(uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue)

Set the color of all LEDs (RGB driver only).

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 is31fl3218_set_value(int index, uint8_t value)

Set the brightness of a single LED (single-color driver only). This function does not immediately update the LEDs; call is31fl3218_update_pwm_buffers() after you are finished.

Arguments

  • int index
    The LED index (ie. the index into the g_is31fl3218_leds array).
  • uint8_t value
    The brightness value to set.

void is31fl3218_set_value_all(uint8_t value)

Set the brightness of all LEDs (single-color driver only).

Arguments

  • uint8_t value
    The brightness value to set.

void is31fl3218_set_led_control_register(uint8_t index, bool red, bool green, bool blue)

Configure the LED control registers for a single LED (RGB driver only). This function does not immediately update the LEDs; call is31fl3218_update_led_control_registers() after you are finished.

Arguments

  • uint8_t index
    The LED index (ie. the index into the g_is31fl3218_leds array).
  • bool red
    Enable or disable the red channel.
  • bool green
    Enable or disable the green channel.
  • bool blue
    Enable or disable the blue channel.

void is31fl3218_set_led_control_register(uint8_t index, bool value)

Configure the LED control registers for a single LED (single-color driver only). This function does not immediately update the LEDs; call is31fl3218_update_led_control_registers() after you are finished.

Arguments

  • uint8_t index
    The LED index (ie. the index into the g_is31fl3218_leds array).
  • bool value
    Enable or disable the LED.

void is31fl3218_update_pwm_buffers(void)

Flush the PWM values to the LED driver.


void is31fl3218_update_led_control_registers(void)

Flush the LED control register values to the LED driver.
