The rgb_led_spi protocol decoder supports various LED controllers that get RGB color data via SPI in 24bit chunks (3x 8bit SPI words).
Hardware
WorldSemi WS2801 based led string
The led/ws2801 directory in sigrok-dumps contains a set of example captures of the data for a WorldSemi WS2801 based LED string.
The logic analyzer used was a Saleae Logic16 (at 5MHz).
Probe setup:
| Probe | WS2801 |
|---|---|
| 1 (black) | UNI1 |
| 2 (brown) | CLK |
Protocol
The protocol is SPI-based and expects 24bit RGB values, i.e. 3 SPI words of 8bits each.
Since only one direction is needed in some cases, it is sufficient to have the CLK and (e.g.) MOSI SPI line available.
