WS2801

The WS2801 is a constant current LED driver. It is designed for indoor/ outdoor LED displays and decorative LED lighting system. It is suitable for LED cascading applications. The WS2801ownes 3 output channels, each channel can drive a constant current up to 30mA. WS2081 contains serial shift registers, data latches, output registers, band gap reference voltage generator, internal oscillator, and programmable constant output current drivers. The serial data is read into the shift registers at the rise edge of the external clock. The data and clock output buffers are designed for cascading another chip. The output polarity reverse function is designed for driving high power LED by adapting the application circuitry. The WS2801 adopts the reliable 2-wire scheme, which features low EMI transport, very strong anti-interference ability, and support hot-swap. The 2-wire control scheme can reduce the system cost; it is very suitable for low cost LED decorative LED lighting systems.

Bucky Glow

“A geometric object that lights up and plays music The Bucky Glow is an interactive LED dodecahedron consisting of 11 LEDs, which are controlled with an Arduino Nano. Using the Arduino programming environment, you can create endless light-up patterns. The …

LED Eclipse With Touch Sensors and MIDI

“The LED eclipse is an interactive instrument with LEDs, capacitive touch sensors, and a MIDI output all controlled with an Arduino Uno. You can program the device in many different ways. Across all the applications, the idea is pretty much …

The Compact Disc-o: My LED disco ball music festival totem!

“I made a programmable LED disco ball totem for bringing to music festivals — a Compact Disc-o Ball, if you will. :) What’s a totem? As you may know, you don’t get cellular reception at many large music festivals. Also …

UNMOMENT - Ntp, Binary, Rgb CLOCK

“This is my hardest to read attempt of a clock. You need to know how a binary clock works and something about color-mixing lights. I don’t think that anyone can read it, while the secons are ON, so there …

Interactive Geodesic LED Dome

“I constructed a geodesic dome consisting of 120 triangles with an LED and sensor at each triangle. Each LED can be addressed individually and each sensor is tuned specifically for a single triangle. The dome is programmed with an Arduino …

Decorative LED Table Top

“This is my first project for my Interactive Design class where I play upon the Light Up Disco Table decoration by turning it into a prototype for an Interactive game using a Hall Sensor as the trigger. This is my …
