New LED Edit software is out. So many new features and functions has been added. So, we decided to create a new LEDEdit 2021 software tutorial .Since it's first release back in 2012 a lot LEDEdit has been changed.LEDEdit versions discontinued after 2014 release .But ,There where some 3rd party modified versions such as LEDEdit 2018.After 2014 , Started to release the LEDEdit -K software with new interface and focusing on K series pixel LED controllers.However, New LEDEdit 2021 version have features of both LEDEdit and LEDEdit-K software versions.Here is the tutorial of LEDEdit 2021.
If you don't have LEDEdit 2021 installed in your system yet. [ Here is how to install and LEDEdit 2021 download links ] .
Year 2021 is already here and new version of LedEdit software available for download .This LED Edit version has some improved features .LEDEdit is the most used pixel LED software. Because, It supports large variety of pixel LED controllers and pixel LED drive chips . Also it's easy to use and has features that other pixel LED programming software doesn't have. Here are some of the added features in this LEDEdit version.
• Fixed software bugs .
• Automatic software Updater.
• More supported pixel LED controllers and drive chips .
• Improved custom effects creator .
• More export options.
• Improved MADRIX support.
K-1000C pixel LED controller is the successor of T-1000S pixel LED controller . It can be called a upgraded version of T-1000S . K-1000C comes with a seven segment display .This controller is a single port pixel LED controller that supports over 30 pixel LED chip types . There are basically three types of signal protocols supported by this controller The NRZ , TTL and RX485 (DMX512) . There is a separate port for RX485 (DMX512) pixel LEDs . This controller comes with the detachable terminals (To make controller swapping easy). The SD card has 256MB of memory . User manual has basic instructions in both Chinese and English languages.
Pixel LED strings or strips named after the pixel led drive chip names that is used in that strip or string . Some pixel led controllers require to select the pixel LED type manually . Since , There limited space in the display , Pixel LED Drive chips represented by two digit numbers . Here are the chip codes and what are the corresponding pixel LED drive IC numbers . Usually , The first two digits in your pixel LED controller displays the selected drive chip code .
Digital Multiplex is a communication protocol used to remotely control lighting dimmers and intelligent devices. DMX is an asynchronous serial digital data protocol . It’s designed to provide a common communications standard between these lighting devices . So that deferent devises from different manufactures can work together.
The number 512 after the DMX refers to the number of control channels used on one network segment of devices. In a simple dimming system, one channel controls the intensity of one dimmer. A single intelligent device may require several channels to control its various parameters .
The DMX 512 protocol is based on the Standard 485 or RS-485 (EIA/TIA-485 standard), which uses asynchronous, differential data transmission. This standard supports 32 devices on one network at a distance of up to 4000 feet. One device functions as the master (the DMX controller) on a network, while the rest function as slaves (dimmers, intelligent fixtures, etc.). Only the master transmits over the network, and all slaves receive the same data.
TM1803 is a 3 output RGB LED drive IC which consist of MCU digital interface, latch , signal reshape and high voltage driver circuits.Through networking ,it can achieve outdoor large-screen and color dot-matrix control . It can support up to 24v RGB LED drive circuits .TM1803 supports up to 256 level gray control.It has a Built-in RC oscillator, signal clock synchronization. While accepting the completed data of this module, data can be auto-shaped and transmitted to next chip through data output pin.
