Arduino Project #13 | 5 Pins, 32 LEDs, 2 LED Drivers [TLC5940]

Welcome to another episode of the beginner series. (I think I might have just started something new for this channel. lol)

On this video, just like the previous one. Click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7CAboD1jU0

We will be talking about some basic knowledge about the #TLC5940NT or LED Driver IC.

Daisy-chain 2 of them together and control 32 LEDs using only 5 Pins of an #Arduino Nano-Compatible board.

PS. To be honest, I kind of rushed this one. Idk, I might make another video using the same ICs in the near future once I have a better understanding about the code and what not.
