The current sinks are then assigned to the programmed Control Bank. This allows for a wide variety of current control possibilities where LEDs can be grouped and controlled via specific Control Banks (see Figure 3)." It is the control banks that has a brightness settings or can be programmed to blink, that is, they correspond to the logical LEDs and backlights. Assigning a current sink to a control bank corresponds, then, to setting, for example, output_lvled3 to (led) 1. [ Figure 3 on page 16 of the data sheet may be instructive. In the figure, BANK A and B corresponds to the two backlight devices, and BANK C through F corresponds to the four led devices. Note that there are more outputs (current sinks) than control banks. ] Thanks, Johan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
