Alternative for Qwiic LED Strip?

Qwiic System
1

Hi,

as I cannot get the Qwiic LED strip to run stable (long story short, its somehow interfering with the 9DOF IMU) I was wondering if someone would have an alternative suggestion how I can bring light to my setup.

Qwiic is a must, as I have no other communication options (using Micromod Single Board and the RX/TX is already in use).

I thought about:

  1. using a Qwiic trigger button with LED, but do not use the trigger function itself but only the LED. Disadvantage: only 1 color, only 1 light.
  2. using RGB Addressable CBI Led but I am unsure how to get that connected via Qwiic ?
  3. using SparkFun LED Driver Breakout - but same question, how to wire it.. ?

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Those sound viable. You could also take a look at SparkFun Qwiic Mux Breakout - 8 Channel (TCA9548A) - SparkFun Electronics which can use virtual i2c addressing that may help with the conflict
