# IS31FL3218 Driver {#is31fl3218-driver}

I²C LED driver by Lumissil. Supports up to 18 single-color LEDs, or 6 RGB LEDs.

[IS31FL3218 Datasheet](https://www.lumissil.com/assets/pdf/core/IS31FL3218_DS.pdf)

## Usage {#usage}

The IS31FL3218 driver code is automatically included if you are using the [LED Matrix](../features/led_matrix) or [RGB Matrix](../features/rgb_matrix) feature with the `is31fl3218` driver set, and you would use those APIs instead.

However, if you need to use the driver standalone, add this to your `rules.mk`:

```make
COMMON_VPATH += $(DRIVER_PATH)/led/issi
SRC += is31fl3218-mono.c # For single-color
SRC += is31fl3218.c # For RGB
I2C_DRIVER_REQUIRED = yes
```

## Basic Configuration {#basic-configuration}

Add the following to your `config.h`:

|Define                      |Default      |Description                                        |
|----------------------------|-------------|---------------------------------------------------|
|`IS31FL3218_SDB_PIN`        |*Not defined*|The GPIO pin connected to the driver's shutdown pin|
|`IS31FL3218_I2C_TIMEOUT`    |`100`        |The I²C timeout in milliseconds                    |
|`IS31FL3218_I2C_PERSISTENCE`|`0`          |The number of times to retry I²C transmissions     |

### I²C Addressing {#i2c-addressing}

The IS31FL3218's 7-bit I²C address is `0x54`, available as `IS31FL3218_I2C_ADDRESS`.

## ARM/ChibiOS Configuration {#arm-configuration}

Depending on the ChibiOS board configuration, you may need to [enable and configure I²C](i2c#arm-configuration) at the keyboard level.

## LED Mapping {#led-mapping}

In order to use this driver, each output must be mapped to an LED index, by adding the following to your `<keyboardname>.c`:

```c
const is31fl3218_led_t PROGMEM g_is31fl3218_leds[IS31FL3218_LED_COUNT] = {
/*   R     G     B */
    {OUT1, OUT2, OUT3},
    // etc...
};
```

In this example, the red, green and blue channels for the first LED index all have their anodes connected to `VCC`, and their cathodes on the `OUT1`, `OUT2` and `OUT3` pins respectively.

For the single-color driver, the principle is the same, but there is only one channel:

```c
const is31fl3218_led_t PROGMEM g_is31fl3218_leds[IS31FL3218_LED_COUNT] = {
/*   V */
    {OUT1},
    // etc...
};
```

## API {#api}

### `struct is31fl3218_led_t` {#api-is31fl3218-led-t}
