[sixerdoodle] sent us this nice firefly project that serves as an intro to charlieplexing. We’ve mentioned charlieplexing before, in our LED Life post and the Breath Controlled LED candles post. This ...

Charlieplexing is a technique that allows you to drive a larger number of LEDs than wouldn’t be possible with the same number of I/O pins on a traditional multiplexed matrix. If we lost you there just ...

A few articles have recently appeared describing novel ways to increase the number of LEDs a microprocessor can drive with a limited number of pins (Reference 1). The standard multiplexing technique ...

The term “Charileplexing” is not a familiar one for many electronics hobbyists. Charlieplexing is a technique proposed in early 1995 by Charlie Allen (at Maxim Integrated) for driving a multiplexed ...

Charlieplexing. The verb is an electronics technique apparently named after one Charlie Allen, an engineer at Maxim. It involves minimising the use of I/O pins on a microcontroller to drive a maximum ...
