Hi

The MCPWMController.dll and MCBarGraphMeter.dll provided in the code example for this board are very usefull for other projects. In my humble opinion, these two blocks are so usefull that should be included in the the regular library.

However when more then one TLC5947 chip is needed I canot found any way to assign the hardware MPxx pins in order to drive multiple devices; for that, they are no visble output pins in the block.

Multiple Daisy Chained TLC5947s is possible and easy using exactly the same MPxx pins, however it seems that the block provides only 24 inputs, enough for one Ic only.

Could you please help me with this issue?

Thank you

Unfortunately, there is no way to support more than one of these LED controller ICs. The one on the mic canvas is controlled by manually bit-banging the GPIO to simulate a serial port, and this is not generalized. This was a one-off for this demo board, and we are not able to support the controller more generally. Sorry.
