DESCRIPTION

The Circle Edge LED TinyShield uses only six I/O signals to create a wide variety of LED indications. This board includes 21 LEDs that are mounted around the outside of the board to form a full circle. It's designed to be placed on the top of your TinyShield stack. The LEDs are arranged using Charlieplexing, a technique that allows for control of multiple LEDs using fewer I/O signals. Available with Red, Green and Amber LED color options.

Notes

This board has no top TinyShield connector, so no additional TinyShields can be stack on top of this. This board is meant to be on the top of a TinyDuino stack.
If a top connector is needed to stack additional TinyShields, there is also the 16 Edge LED TinyShield which has 16 LEDs and a top connector.
The LEDs are hooked up using Charlieplexing, a technique for driving many LEDs with only a few IO signals. See the tutorial to learn more about this and use our free library to control these easily.
