5 The leds-blinkm driver supports the devices of the BlinkM family.
7 They are RGB-LED modules driven by a (AT)tiny microcontroller and
8 communicate through I2C. The default address of these modules is
9 0x09 but this can be changed through a command. By this you could
10 dasy-chain up to 127 BlinkMs on an I2C bus.
12 The device accepts RGB and HSB color values through separate commands.
13 Also you can store blinking sequences as "scripts" in
14 the controller and run them. Also fading is an option.
16 The interface this driver provides is 2-fold:
18 a) LED class interface for use with triggers
19 ############################################
21 The registration follows the scheme::
23 blinkm-<i2c-bus-nr>-<i2c-device-nr>-<color>
25 $ ls -h /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-*
26 /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-blue:
27 brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent
29 /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-green:
30 brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent
32 /sys/class/leds/blinkm-6-9-red:
33 brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent
35 (same is /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/leds)
37 We can control the colors separated into red, green and blue and
38 assign triggers on each color.
42 $ cat blinkm-6-9-blue/brightness
45 $ echo 200 > blinkm-6-9-blue/brightness
48 $ modprobe ledtrig-heartbeat
49 $ echo heartbeat > blinkm-6-9-green/trigger
53 b) Sysfs group to control rgb, fade, hsb, scripts ...
54 #####################################################
56 This extended interface is available as folder blinkm
57 in the sysfs folder of the I2C device.
58 E.g. below /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/blinkm
60 $ ls -h /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0009/blinkm/
63 Currently supported is just setting red, green, blue
