PololuLedStrip Class Reference

This constructor lets you make an led strip object by specifying the pin name.

There are no restrictions on what pin you can choose.

Example:

PololuLedStrip ledStrip(p8);

Writes the specified series of colors to the LED strip.

Parameters:

colors	should be a pointer to an array of rgb_color structs.
count	should be the number of colors to write.

The first color in the array will be written to the LED closest to the data input connector. To update all the LEDs in the LED strip, count should be equal to or greater than the number of LEDs in the strip. If count is less than the number of LEDs in the strip, then some LEDs near the end of the strip will not be updated.

The colors are sent in series and each color takes about 45 microseconds to send. This function disables interrupts temporarily while it is running. This function waits for over 10 us at the end before returning to allow the colors to take effect.

This option defaults to false.

Setting this to true changes the behavior of the write function, making it enable interrupts after each color is sent, about every 60 microseconds. This allows your program to respond to interrupts faster, but makes it possible for an interrupt that takes longer than 8 microseconds to screw up the transmission of colors to the LED strip.

Example:

        PololuLedStrip::interruptFriendly = true;
