SparkFun LED Driver Breakout - TLC5940 (16 Channel) Boards, Sparkfun OriginalsThe TLC5940 is a 16 channel PWM unit with 12 bit duty cycle control (0 4095), 6 bit current limit control (0 63), and a daisy chainable serial interface. This breakout board is a good way to take full advantage of this useful IC. All 16 PWM channels are broken out to standard 0. 1" headers, which run alongside convenient voltage and ground rails. Also, because the TLC5940 can be daisy chained, the breakout is designed to support that feature. On the

The TLC5940 is a 16 channel PWM unit with 12 bit duty cycle control (0-4095), 6 bit current limit control (0-63), and a daisy chainable serial interface. This breakout board is a good way to take full advantage of this useful IC. All 16 PWM channels are broken out to standard 0.1" headers, which run alongside convenient voltage and ground rails. Also, because the TLC5940 can be daisy-chained, the breakout is designed to support that feature. On the left-hand side of the board all serial inputs are broken out to 0.1" headers and likewise with output on the right-hand side.

Use this board to increase the number of PWM pins available to your microcontroller for applications such as Monocolor, Multicolor or Full-Color LED Displays, LED Signboards, Display Backlighting, Servo control, or any other project where a large number of PWM drivers are necessary.

Note: While each 3-pin PWM header is 0.1" spaced, the space between each header is slightly larger in order to accommodate servo connections. In order to make this board suitable for use with servos, 2.2k pull-up resistors have been included on each output as well. Finally, the 2.2k resistor on the Iref pin sets the output current to 17.8mA but a parallel through-hole connection is provided for an additional resistor to increase the current if necessary. To determine the resistor value you need for a given output check the equations provided on the schematic.

Great for the price
Color: Football, Size: One-Size
The reason that I am giving this purchase 3 stars instead of 5, isn't because of the product being faulty. The fault is my own. I didn't think this was a squeaky toy. I thought it was solid. I took it out of its package and gave it to my dog. And when he chomped down on it and it squeaked. He dropped it, barked at it and won't touch it. My dog hates squeaky toys. But it's tough but soft and chewy. The price is nice, the size is perfect for a big dog and the playability is great. Just not for a dog who doesn't like squeaky toys.

This is Some Bunny!!
Color: Bunny (Red), Size: One-Size, Color: Bunny (Red), Size: One-Size
We have dubbed this THE BUNNY. Our fur baby doesn’t go anywhere without his support Bunny and loves it more than his cat sister. Bowie is a big boy and an aggressive chewer yet Bunny has stood up to him. Bunny can never go away!

Terrible quality
Color: Tennis Ball (Green), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
After purchasing several of these balls, I felt I needed to write a review so that the amount of sales doesn’t make it appear as though this is a quality product!! My dogs absolutely love these balls, which is the only reason I keep ordering them. But, the grunting effect is “killed” quickly and easily and the seam that connects the “top” easily pulls apart. The balls end up ripped in two halves in less than a week. Sometimes less than three days. (We leave them outside so they play with them only when out there). They’re just far too easy to “disassemble” and tear apart. But, it’s fun watching the dogs’ joy in the first few seconds of getting a new one.

KONG; consistently sturdy!
Color: bone, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This toy is small enough for my 11 pound puppy and he loves it. It's also sturdy enough (as KONG products always are) to withstand his terrier jaws and ability to destroy most toys in under 5 minutes. Keeps him busy for hours.
