SECO-NCV7685RGB-GEVB

NCV7685 RGB Lighting Evaluation Board User’s Manuals

Description
SECO-NCV7685RGB-GEVB is an evaluation board for RGB LEDs lighting application with BLE in automotive which driven by NCV7685 and controlled by RSL10. It is also an interior or exterior lighting reference design for tail or ambient lights to realize general sequential or high end pixelated LEDs controlling in-vehicle network. The user can set RGB LED’s color and intensity by mobile APP to show customized information or animation.
In general, the user are prefer to use fixed address in multiple NCV7685 application. It leads to add one more procedure to pre-programming each chips’ address in mass production stage. In addition, it is inconvenient for maintenance in the aftermarket. In firmware of this evaluation board, it use floating address setting method, each time when power on the board, the NCV7685 will be assigned an address which defined by customer, but not locked into OTP registers. The user can realize this function by using either RSL10’s GPIO or IO expender (PAC9655).
In firmware, the driver APIs divided into four levels: Peripheral, Chip, Board and customer application. User can directly include the chips and board APIs in their own project, and modify the application APIs according to their applications. This will fasten develop period to market.
The board conceived for use as a plug and play environment to testing.
Nominal supply voltage is 12 V (Supply voltage range 12-24 V). In switch mode, four fixed animations shown; the RGB LEDs’ color and intensity setting by user mobile APP in BLE mode.

Features

  • Plug and Play; Switch and BLE Mode to Show Animations
  • 16 RGB LEDs (48 Channels), each Current Programmable Sources up to 60 mA
  • Independent PWM Duty Cycle Control for each Channel
  • On-Chip 150, 300, 600 and 1200 Hz PWM
  • Logarithmic or linear independent PWM dimming
  • Diagnostic and Protection against Open Load and Under-Voltage, Over Temperature…
  • Dynamic Addressing Method for No-Worries in mass production
  • Bluetooth® 5 Certified with LE 2M PHY Support
  • Rx Sensitivity (Bluetooth Low Energy Mode, 1 Mbps): -94 dBm
  • Transmitting Power: -17 to +6 dBm
  • Arm Cortex-M3 Processor and LPDSP32
  • AEC-Q100 Qualified and PPAP Capable

Operations of NCV7685 RGB LEDs Board
After power on, the board shows the “Welcome” animation, then according to the setting of the switch, the board show four kinds of fixed animations or come into BLE  mode. The functions and operations descripted as below figures:

Switch Setting:
SECO-NCV7685RGB-GEVB

Status Indicator Mode:
Keep all Switches off; the board comes into status indicator mode. Green means works well, orange means warning and red means error. The color of LEDs changes in gradient from green to orange, then to red; and goes back from red to green. This used as the status indicator for dashboard.
Switch Setting:

Second Clock
Keep Switch S1 on and S2, S3, S4 off, every second, only one LED in blue lights up clockwise direction in turn.
Switch Setting:

Flash Mode
Keep Switch S2 on and S1, S3, S4 off, all LEDs flash in  red.
Switch Setting: Fading Mode
Keep Switch S1, S2 on and S3, S4 off, all LEDs fading in green.
Switch Setting:
SECO-NCV7685RGB-GEVB
BLE Mode

Just Keep Switch S4 on and never mind of the setting of
S2, S3, S4, the board comes into BLE mode. User use general mobile App to control LED’s color and intensity for individual or all LEDs. For example, using “Light Blue” in IOS; “BLE Scanner” or “nRF Connect” in Android OS. It shows a green “smell face” firstly, and then changes the color and intensity according to the received five bytes data by BLE. The first three bytes stands for R, G, B values to mix the color, and the fourth data stands for intensity (4 level brightness For V1). The fifth byte stands for LED number, if this value is greater than 0x0f, all LEDs response. Here are several examples:
Examples: (R, G, B, I, LED_No)
(Four level of Intensity, Depends on Firmware)
800080FF00: LED0 in Purple
FF00003F01: LED1 in Red
XXXXXX0010: All LEDs turn off as the he intensity is 0 (Never mind RGB’s values) 00BFFFFF10: All LEDs in deep sky blue
Here is an example using “Light Blue” App to control RGB lighting board:

  1. Find and choose Peripheral of “NCV7685 RGB Kit”
  2. Tap “Send RGB Setting” character
  3. Set RGB and Intensity values
  4. The board change color, intensity and LED_No

Firmware Setting
Generally, user had better use floating address method in firmware; the configurations can changed in the “ncv7685.h” file. Here are options:

·app_basc.c: Battery level indication handler
·app_bass.c: Battery Service code
·app_config.c: Application configuration source file
·app_customss.c: Bluetooth custom service
·app_msg_handler.c: Customer defined functions and data
