## The mystery of control registers for FM6126A chips
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Datasheet for this chis chip is in chineese and does not shed a light on what those two control regs are.
|
||||
|
||||
An excellent insight could be found here
|
||||
|
||||
https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/issues/746#issuecomment-453860510
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So there are two regs - **REG1** and **REG1**,
|
||||
|
||||
one could be written with 12 clock pusles (and usually called reg12, dunno why :))
|
||||
|
||||
the other one could be written with 13 clock pusles (and usually called reg13, dunno why :))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So I've done some measurmens on power consumption while toggling bits of **REG1** and it looks that it could provide a fine grained brighness control over matrix.
|
||||
|
||||
There are 6 bits (6 to 11) giving an increased brighness (compared to all-zeroes) and 4 bits (2-5) giving decreased brighness!!!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
So it seems that the most bright (and hungry for power) value is
|
||||
|
||||
bool REG1[16] = {0,0,0,0,0, 1,1,1,1,1,1, 0,0,0,0,0}; and not {0,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1} as it is usually used.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm not sure about bit 1 - it is either not used or I was unable to measure it's influence to brightness/power.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Giving at least 10 bits of hardware brightness control opens pretty nice options for offloading. Should dig into this more deeper.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some of the measurments I've took for 2 64x64 panels filled with white color - reg value and corresponding current drain in amps.

||||
