6.3.4 Autonomous Animation Engine Control

The LP5811 supports both manual mode and autonomous mode to control the DC and PWM of each LED. In manual mode, the LEDs are directly controlled by the related configuration registers and reflect the value immediately. In autonomous mode, the autonomous animation engine is applied for each LED, which can realize vivid lighting effects without external processor control. The animation engine pattern is composed by 3 animation engine units (AEU) and 2 animation pause units (APU) for complex and flexible control. One AEU is formed by 4 slopers, which is used for fading effect.

After setting up all animation engine pattern configurations, sending start_cmd to the device can let the animation running autonomously, to free external controller real-time loading. The PWM value and unit status of each LED can be read from PWM_value registers and pattern_status registers. To make sure the precision of reading results, sending pause_cmd to pause the animation firstly is recommended.
