This output controller class is used to control the direct strip controller by Swisslizard.
The hardware of this controller is based on a Atmel microcontroller and a FT245R USB interface chip by FTDI. To ensure max performance all copde on the controller has been written in assembler.
WS2811 is a small controller chip which can controll a RGB led (256 PWM level on each channel) and be daisychained, so long cahins of LEDs (led strip are possible. The WS2812 understands the same protocoll as the WS2811, but is a RGB led with integrated controller chip which allows for even more dense populated RGB strips.
Those controller chips are controlled using a single data line (there is no clock line). The data has to be sent with a frequency of 800khz. 1 bits have a duration of 0.65uS high and 0.6uS low. 0 bits have a duration of 0.25uS high and 1uS low. A interuption in the dataflow triggers the controller chips to push the data in the shift register to the PWM outputs. Since the timing requirements are very strict it is not easily possible to output that signal directly from a computer with normal operating system. Thats why controllers like the one displayed below are needed.
This is a image of my controller prototype with classical through the hole parts and a small breakoutboard by SparkFun. At the time of the release of DOF R2, the first prototypes of SMD version of the controller are in production. Check back in the forums for more information.
