ARM controller. The ARM controller is located on the DC/DC
board (item no. 7302) or AL panel (item no. 7102).

Circuit Descriptions
The SPI bus is a synchronous serial data link standard that
operates in full duplex mode.
For debugging purposes, the working principle is given below:
•
At startup the controller will read-out matrix data from the
EEPROM devices (via SPI DATA RETURN)
•
Before operation, the driver current is set via SPI, with
driver in DC mode
•
During normal operation the controller receives RGB-,
configuration-, operation mode- and topology data via I
•
The controller converts the I
to SPI LED data
•
Via data return the controller receives error data (if
applicable).
Also PWM clock and BLANK signals are generated by the
controller. The controller can be reprogrammed via I
USB). The controller can receive matrix values via I
will be stored in the EEPROM of each AL module via the SPI
bus. The temperature sensor in each AL module controls the
TEMP line; in case of a too high temperature the controller will
reduce the overall brightness.
