This is a step-by-step guide that I have created for beginners and arduiNOOBS like me.In this tutorial, we would be discussing some pretty basic knowledge about the 16-channel PWM LED Driver called TLC5940.Learn how to daisy-chain them together and use some code from a TLC5940 Library.******************************************************************************NECESSARY LINKS:TLC5940NT Library: <a href="https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/Tlc5940">https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/Tlc5940</a>Or <a href="https://playground.arduino.cc/Learning/TLC5940/">https://playground.arduino.cc/Learning/TLC5940/</a>Datasheet: <a href="https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/tlc5940">https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/tlc5940</a>Arduino Nano Pinout Diagram: <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/W9Ril.png">https://i.stack.imgur.com/W9Ril.png</a>More Information: <a href="https://howtomechatronics.com/tutorials/arduino/how-to-extend-arduino-pwm-outputs-tlc5940-tutorial/">https://howtomechatronics.com/tutorials/arduino/how-to-extend-arduino-pwm-outputs-tlc5940-tutorial/</a><a href="http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/TLC5940-PWM-driver-circuit-with-an-arduino.php">http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/TLC5940-PWM-driver-circuit-with-an-arduino.php</a><a href="https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/85807/arduino-tlc5940-and-74hc595">https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/85807/arduino-tlc5940-and-74hc595</a><a href="http://tronixstuff.com/2013/10/21/tutorial-arduino-tlc5940-led-driver-ic/">http://tronixstuff.com/2013/10/21/tutorial-arduino-tlc5940-led-driver-ic/</a>******************************************************************************Social Media Links To Follow (I mean, if you want to):Facebook - <a href="https://fb.me/HeathenHacks">https://fb.me/HeathenHacks</a>Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/HeathenHacks">https://twitter.com/HeathenHacks</a>Instagram - <a href="https://instagr.am/HeathenHacks">https://instagr.am/HeathenHacks</a>******************************************************************************<figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/42acd22b-9ac3-461a-b930-34ec14dd3315.png /><figcaption>TLC5940 Pinout Diagram</figcaption></figure><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/2b273b58-4d7d-4f9a-80c6-81ee5578f332.png /><figcaption>TLC5940 IC</figcaption></figure><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/1df72783-5fbc-4870-97ea-fd85cbda7ba1.JPG /><figcaption>All Wired Up.</figcaption></figure><div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-none" contenteditable="false" style="width: 100%;"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;"><iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AFTYja5BViE" data-proportion="true" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-align="none" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" data-index="0" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%"></iframe><figcaption contenteditable="true"><div>Video is Up!</div></figcaption></figure></div><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/56d9fde1-ac71-465a-8fea-d4f28ecafa58.png /><figcaption>https://youtube.com/@HeathenHacks</figcaption></figure>
