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.

This baby "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"!
Pattern Name: Platypus
I have three Labs who LOVE playing tug of war with each other and their human family. I bought this stretchy plushie on a whim and it has become one of their favorites! Our pups pull HARD and this thing can TAKE IT without ripping or losing it's elasticity. It does have some holes and has lost an ear, but it is still functional - just a bit raggedy. ANY plushie that lasts more than a couple days with these ladies is a winner...and this one has been played with daily for several WEEKS at this point! If you have strong pullers who also like the soft, squeaky feel of a plushie, this toy is a sure bet.

It survived longer than others
Pattern Name: Pull Monkey, Pattern Name: Pull Monkey
My Maltese mix has destroyed every single one of his squeaker toys within a week. This is the only stuffed toy I've found so far that lasted almost 2 months before he successfully gutted and 3 months before it officially needed to be replaced. I mean, just look at the image and see the rough play it's been through. I do wish the squeaker was larger to help it survive just a bit longer but I am pretty happy with this toy and so is my dog. The rope arms and legs are great features as they slide through the body and really helps encourage tug play. The price is fair for the size and quality of the construction and is overall a pretty good purchase. I plan to buy a few more to keep as backup.

Great toy for dogs who like to pull
Pattern Name: Pull Monkey
My dog loves tug of war (non-stop) and I thought this would be perfect for him. He loves it. He plays with it constantly and it's held up to the non stop pulling.

Very durable and adorable
Pattern Name: Octopus Purple
My dog absolutely adores this toy! She has a habit of destroying stuffies really quick, but this cute octopus has lasted so far. I love the legs that stretch out so we can play tug of war! I am going to buy another one in a different color! Def worth buying!
