rgb led lighting. modules are (read: will be) daisy-chainable over cat5/6 cabling.

• the leds
• a few effects
  • cylon eye
  • new orleans superdome-syle rainbow flow
  • maybe some others

• all other features

• avrdude
• avr-objcopy
• avr-objdump
• avr-size
• avr-gcc

• some sort of avr isp

• this tlc5940 avr library

1. clone the rgb repository to wherever you'd like
2. clone the TLC590 repository to the same place (i.e. one level above rgb/)
3. edit rgb/firmware/Makefile to use your isp (default is adafruit's USBtinyISP)

• depending on your isp, you may need to add -P /whatever/your/port/is after the isp name
• per usual, ladyada can help

1. plug in your isp and adjust makefile's portif necessary
2. navigate your terminal to rgb/firmware/
3. first time flashing:
4. $ make test (ensures avr and isp are working)
5. fix any connectivity problems; this will range from unplugging your isp and plugging it back in to re-soldering your mcu
6. $ make fuse (writes correct fuse values to the avr)
7. $ make test (ensure the new fuse values match the desired ones)
8. $ make clean
9. $ make flash

1. google

• KiCad eda software suite
• these KiCad libraries

1. open kicad
2. open rgb-pcb.pro
3. ensure all component and footprint libraries from mcous/kicad-lib are installed
4. generate gerbers
5. order pcbs from your favorite manufacturer and parts from your favorite distributor
6. don't breathe the solder fumes
