The benefits of ISELED®
-
High LED capacity
With a single data line, you can control up to 4079 LEDs, making your projects simpler and more cost-effective.
-
Robust performance
Our platform operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F), making it ideal for demanding environments.
-
Strong communication
Thanks to differential bus communication, you benefit from greater range and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
Stable color quality
With four dimming levels, color stability is maintained even at very low light levels. Calibration to the D65 color space ensures consistent color temperatures.
-
Expandable flexibility
ISELED® offers a modular system architecture that allows for easy integration of additional LED components, enabling you to flexibly customize and expand your system.
Challenges
For licensing reasons only very specific µControllers can drive ISELEDs®. Microcontrollers for ISELED-based LED chains
During production a special ‘Serial-Number’ is burned into an area of the chip that is later on impossible to change by a user. This ‘Serial-Number’ is polled during initialization and operation of the LEDs. Even if you find the same product number on an existing µController or an Arduino based development board the ISELEDs® can’t be operated.
Example: Arduino MKR Zero
The µController is a SAMD21 from Microchip. Although the SAMD21 is listed among the ISELED® controllers, the MKR Zero is without the required ‘Serial Number’.
The development kits available are expensive and complicated to use.
Availability of ISELEDs® in smaller quantities
The Dominant seddLED (Smart Embedded Digital Driver LED) A3A-FKG-1400-1 come only in reels starting with of 5000 pieces – very small quantities are hardly available.
Pre-soldered LEDs
For consumer grade applications e.g. WS2812 RGB LEDs there is a wide variety of stripes and matrixes, just search for WS2812 on ebay. For ISELEDs® there was only little on the market.
Especially for prototyping purposes these challenges are a huge hurdle to overcome.
That’s why we created the ISELED®uino
Small size
Based on the Arduino MKR the same pinout and almost the same footprint. All Arduino MKR shields can be used.
Arduino Library
Microchip wrote an Arduino library for easy and intuitive use.
Powerful Library
FastISELED is based on FastLED, an awesome library with several color models and bit manipulation that enables beautiful animations.
The best: You can reuse your existing code with ISELED®uino – it is compatible with the FastLED sketches – via a special library for our customers.
Endless Possibilities with Arduino
Arduino is the most widely used platform for physical computing, offering an easy-to-use IDE, simplified C++, and countless libraries for nearly every sensor and actuator. With a large community providing tutorials and support, it’s safe to say that ISELED® was made for Arduino, or vice versa.
Flexible LED strips
We offer 4 options for flexible ISELED® strips with 1m length and 144 or 72 LEDs/m, and 0.5m length with 72 LEDs/m and 36 LEDs/m.
Single ISELED on PCB
We offer single ISELED® from Dominant on a daisy chainable PCB. This can be used for individual installations or as a ‘sacrificial LED’.
Advantages of the ISELED®uino
- Slide switch for ISELED® pullup resistors – some existing ISELED® installations already have pull-ups.
- The ISELED®uino may only deliver a maximum of 500mA to connected ISELEDs. One ISELED typically draws up to 40mA at peak brightness. If the LEDs are supplied with their own 5V power supply, the jumper on the ISELED®uino must be pulled so that there is no feedback into the USB port.
- ATTENTION: When you use an external power supply then make sure to connect Gnd from LEDs and ISELED®uino. If you want to power down, ALWAYS switch off +5V first, NEVER the Gnd-connection.
- Segger compatible programming interface – if you need to flash many board this reduces your work load significantly.
ISELED®uino
An Arduino MKR clone for controlling ISELED® equipped with a licensed SAMD21 microcontroller – programmable via USB interface and Arduino IDE.
Easy programming
Experience the free integrated development environment for Arduino – Arduino Software (IDE) – whether you’re at home or on the go, program, upload your projects, and access them anytime for free through your browser. This allows you to quickly and efficiently implement your projects with our products without additional licensing costs.
Compatible with the Arduino MKR board family
With seamless integration with MKR Shields, you enhance your projects with power and connectivity. From compact form factors to integrated wireless features, compatibility with the MKR board family allows for easy expansion of your projects.
Compact and modular design
Our products are specifically designed for compatibility with the Arduino open-source electronics platform – easy-to-use hardware and software. Thanks to this compatibility, they are ideal for cost- and time-efficient use as development tools, manufacturing aids, or in limited quantities for use in small or pre-series production.
Arduino compatible
Easily expand your projects with switches, sensors, interfaces, and displays. Thanks to comprehensive Arduino compatibility, a wide range of components can be seamlessly integrated and customized. This allows for fast, flexible, and efficient development solutions – whether for prototypes, specialized manufacturing aids, or small-scale applications.

ILaS®-Shield
Connecting and Powering the ILaS®-Shield
The ILaS®-Shield is powered via USB or 12V. To do this, connect the ISELED®uino pins E_P, E_N, and Gnd to ILAS_H_IN, ILAS_L_IN, GND. The ISELED® lighting modules can be powered with external 12V, but it is essential to connect the GNDs together. On the ISELED®uino all pins can be used except for A3, A5, and A6. These are the communication pins between the microcontroller and the ILaS®-Shield.
ILaS®-Initiator
Combined test box for the development area or as a manufacturing aid to control ISELED® or other modules in the vehicle sensor network – optionally with or without ILaS® communication bus connection.
Connecting and Powering the ILaS®-Initiator
The power supply is provided via an external plug-in power supply 12V/1A, which is included in the delivery.
