for each other at the end of their sequence iteration
to continue together.
Repeat contains the number of iterations for the
sequence for the corresponding channel. $00
means the sequence will repeat infinitely.
Length sets the number of data sets for each
channel. Data sets are stored consecutively in the
table, starting with those for channel 0. If there are
0 data sets for a channel it takes up no space in the
table.
Data sets contain three bytes each:
Byte 0 - PWM LSB
Byte 1 - Time LSB
Byte 2 - PWM/Time MSB
Byte 2 contains a half byte MSB for Time in its
lower half byte and a half byte MSB for PWM in
its upper half byte to get a total 12 bit value for
each PWM and Time.
PWM is the brightness value that should be
reached and Time the time to transition from the
currently active value to that target value in 10 ms
steps. The maximum transition time in one data set
is 40.95 s. A time value of 0 is invalid and
automatically corrected to 1. Transition between
the values is linear.
For longer transition times or non linear behaviour
multiple data sets may be used.
5.3 DMX512 Control
Since DMX512 is a simple lighting protocol it
allows only to set the brightness (PWM) values of
the output channels.
The starting slot number for DMX512 can be set
via I2C, Four consecutive slots are used to control
the brightness of the four channels.
To use DMX512 it must be set as the control
source in I2C register 11.
5.4 DALI Control
LED-Warrior04 implements the DALI protocol
according to DIN EN62386-102 and DIN EN
62386-207, as required for control gear for LED.
LED-Warrior04 shows up on the DALI bus as four
separate devices.
To use DALI it must be set as the control source in
I2C register 11.
6. Regulator efficiency
The regulator efficieny depends on a number of
parameters. Since there are a couple constant
losses independent of the total power delivered by
the regulator the basic rule is that the regulator is
more efficient when used at higher power (i.e.
more LEDs connected). A lower difference
between input and output voltage does also
increase the efficiency.
6.1 Output current
Maximum output current per channel is 1 A.
6.2 Reliability

7. FCC / CE
The LED-Warrior04 is sold as a module to be
integrated into a device. As such it can not be FCC
or CE approved.
Code Mercenaries has excerted greatest care in
designing this module to minimize RF emission
and assure safe and stable operation. Though the
use of proper cable materials and correct
integration into a device is crucial to assure
product safety and interference free operation. The
integrator who assembles the module into a device
has to take care for appropriate construction and
testing.
LED-Warrior04 has been EMC tested in a typical
configuration and found to be well within the
limits of CE and FCC. Test test documentation is
available on demand.
