16 EDGE LED TINYSHIELD
ASD2411-R-LG
DESCRIPTION
The 16 Edge LED TinyShield allows some cool and easy LED indications using only five I/O
signals. The 16 LEDs are mounted around the outside of the board, and can easily be seen
even when the LED board is in the middle of a TinyShield stackup. The LEDs are arranged
using Charlieplexing, which is a technique to allow for control of multiple LEDs using fewer
I/O signals. Available with Red, Green and Amber LED color options.

o
Voltage: 3.0V - 5.5V
Current:
o
o
o
1.5mA per LED (3.0V)
5.0mA per LED (5.0V)
Due to the low current, this board can be run using the TinyDuino coin cell option
Pins Used
o
Pins 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are used, see schematic or sample code for connections

NOTES
o
If the top connector is not needed, there is also the
Circle LED TinyShield
which has
LEDs that circle the entire board.
The LEDs are hooked up using
Charlieplexing,
a technique for driving many LEDs
with only a few IO signals. See the tutorial to learn more about this and use our free
library to control these easily.
