Is it possible on the Cerb? - with resonable speed, without blocking the main thread completly.
I have 3x 8 bit latches that drives R,G,B x 8 groups of 27 LEDs - so a total of 648 LEDs.
8 banks of LEDs x R,G,B can be controlled separatly, and some intensity control would be sweet on this project.
This mean I need time to set 8 bits on 3x register chips, and trigger input and outpu pins on the registers each cycle of the pwm loop/function.
Need tips for PWM implementation here.
Beeing able to dim and mix colors would take this to the next step

What you’re wanting is SignalGenerator which is unfortunately a premium only feature. There are some alternatives, though…

The PulseInOut module or the new upcoming SigGen P8X32A module are other possibilities to explore.
Oh dear! I had hoped I didn’t have to go down the RLP path. Thanks for the pointer tough. Maybe it’s time to get the hands dirty with native code and figure how that stuff works.
@ taylorza did it for Hydra.
Nice display!
Can you provide any info about the panels and controller?
It’s all custom, but I should be able to scribble down some schematics for what I got here
