HSI to RGB / RGBW with optional PWM output
Library for converting HSI color space values to RGB or RGBW and, optionally, directly send the converted values to PWM outputs.

KL25Z PTA4 as PWM output
By default, PTA4 is defined as the NMI input in the the mbed library. When PTA4 is to be used as a PWM output, we MUST disable the NMI assignment, otherwise the system will lock-up when this pin is pulled low. Read this page for more information.
The easiest way (without changing mbed-src) to disable the NMI input is by adding following code at the start of your main program (this is present in the demo program mentioned below):
// Dummy ISR for disabling NMI on PTA4 - !! DO NOT REMOVE THIS !! extern "C" void NMI_Handler() { DigitalIn test(PTA4); }
Demo code using the KL25Z-FRDM board:

Constructor & conversion function
When 3 PWM ouptuts are declared, the library automatically selects RGB mode.
When 4 PWM ouptuts are declared, the library automatically selects RGBW mode.
When no PWM outputs are declared, the library defaults to RGBW mode. Use .colorMode(RGB)
to switch to RGB mode.
depending on the way you want to use this library, you can call the conversion function in different ways
// Assign 4 PWM outputs and also allow to return the converted RGBW value. hsi2rgbw_pwm led(PTD4, PTA12, PTA4, PTA5); // Call to the conversion function float H, S, I; float rgbw[4]; led.hsi2rgbw(H, S, I, rgbw); // Assign 4 PWM outputs, no converted RGBW value will be returned. hsi2rgbw_pwm led(PTD4, PTA12, PTA4, PTA5); // Call to the conversion function float H, S, I; led.hsi2rgbw(H, S, I); // No PWM outputs are assigned, only the converted RGBW value will be returned. hsi2rgbw_pwm led(NC); // Call to the conversion function float H, S, I; float rgbw[4]; led.hsi2rgbw(H, S, I, rgbw); // Assign 3 PWM outputs and also allow to return the converted RGB value. hsi2rgbw_pwm led(PTD4, PTA12, PTA4); // Call to the conversion function float H, S, I; float rgb[4]; led.hsi2rgbw(H, S, I, rgbw); // Assign 3 PWM outputs, no converted RGB value will be returned. hsi2rgbw_pwm led(PTD4, PTA12, PTA4); // Call to the conversion function float H, S, I; led.hsi2rgbw(H, S, I); // No PWM outputs are assigned, only the converted RGB value will be returned. hsi2rgbw_pwm led(NC); //Set RGB mode led.colorMode(RGB); // Call to the conversion function float H, S, I; float rgb[4]; led.hsi2rgbw(H, S, I, rgb);
Hue, Saturation and Intesity range
H ue | 0...360 | Color value : 0 or 360 = red, 120 = green, 240 = blue, 60 = yellow, 300 = magenta, ... |
S aturation | 0...1 | Color saturation : 0 = white, 1 = max. color, 0.7 is a nice pastel |
I ntensity | 0...1 | Color intensity : 0 = off, 1 = full intensity |
RGB(W) return value
In your main program, declare an array of 4 float values and pass the pointer to this array to the function:
Even when RGB is used, do declare an array of 4 float values.
float rgbw[4];
Upon exit, the function will return the values in rgbw[]
, representing the red, green, blue and white component that corresponds to the chosen HSI values. Range : 0...1 where 0 = minimum and 1 = maximum.
rgbw[0] | RED | |
rgbw[1] | GREEN | |
rgbw[2] | BLUE | |
rgbw[3] | WHITE | Note : this value has no significance when RGB mode is used. |
parabolic mode
By default, each component of the RGB(W) return value is mapped to a parabolic scale.
Call led.parabolic(0);
to disable the parabolic mapping.
Choose RGB or RGBW mode
By default, the conversion return value is set to RGBW.
Call led.colorMode(RGB);
to change to RGB mode.
Call led.colorMode(RGBW);
to go back to RGBW mode.
Change PWM period
By default, the PWM period is set to 4ms (250Hz).
Call led.period(n);
to change the PWM period (replace n with a value in ms).
Change PWM values
We can alter the PWM outputs directly, without passing through the HSI to RGB(W) conversion.
declare float rgbw[4];
and set each value of this array.
Call led.pwm(rgbw);
to write the values directly to the PWM outputs.
Invert PWM channels
When common anode LEDs are used, we need to invert the PWM signal..
Call led.invertpwm(1);
to use the inverted PWM signal.
NOTES
period() and pwm() will not change any value if no PWM pins are declared.
Do not forget to replace led.
with the declared function name.
