The default address of these modules is +0x09 but this can be changed through a command. By this you could +dasy-chain up to 127 BlinkMs on an I2C bus. + +The device accepts RGB and HSB color values through separate commands. +Also you can store blinking sequences as "scripts" in +the controller and run them. Also fading is an option. + +The interface this driver provides is 2-fold: + +a) LED class interface for use with triggers +############################################ + +The registration follows the scheme:: + + blinkm-<i2c-bus-nr>-<i2c-device-nr>-<color> + + $ ls -h /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-* + /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-blue: + brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent + + /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-green: + brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent + + /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-red: + brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent + +(same is /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/leds) + +We can control the colors separated into red, green and blue and +assign triggers on each color. + +E.g.:: + + $ cat blinkm-6-9-blue/brightness + 05 + + $ echo 200 > blinkm-6-9-blue/brightness + $ + + $ modprobe ledtrig-heartbeat + $ echo heartbeat > blinkm-6-9-green/trigger + $ + + +b) Sysfs group to control rgb, fade, hsb, scripts ... +##################################################### + +This extended interface is available as folder blinkm +in the sysfs folder of the I2C device. +E.g. below /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/blinkm + + $ ls -h /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/blinkm/ + blue green red test + +Currently supported is just setting red, green, blue +and a test sequence. + +E.g.:: + + $ cat * + 00 + 00 + 00 + #Write into test to start test sequence!# + + $ echo 1 > test + $ + + $ echo 255 > red + $ + + + +as of 6/2012 + +dl9pf <at> gmx <dot> de |
