Programming the TeensyLights16

Source code for Teensy.

There are 2 different version included here. The first one does not have dimming capability (TeensyLights16_V2) and will only turn the lights on and off. TheTeensyLights16_V2_dimmable has additional code to allowing dimming. This version supports dimming of LED as well as incadensent bulbs.

Teensy Programming

The Teensyduino add on can be downloaded from PJRC (www.pjrc.com)

The Arduino Environment can be downloaded from Arduino (www.arduino.cc) .

Light Sequencing Software

Vixen Lights is freely available light sequencing software that works well with this board and is available at Vixen Lights (www.vixenlights.com).

Light Show Pro also works well and can be purchased at www.LightShowPro.com

Both programs support the Renard Protocol which is currently the default protocol used by the TeensyLights16 board.

 

Renard Protocol

The Renard Protocol was originally conceived by Phil Short for a simple PIC based dimmable light controller he created. The TeensyLights16 was based on many ideas from that original design by Phil Short and others who have contributed to the Renard project.
