General description

The Optimus LED 8-Bit Level Indicator V1.0.0 is a compact eight-channel visual indicator module for embedded systems, robotics, control panels, diagnostics and educational electronics. Eight independently driven surface-mount LEDs are connected through individual 1k Ohm series resistors to a common ground, providing a simple passive display that can be driven from a microcontroller, logic device or external driver stage.

Features

• Eight independently driven indicator channels.
• Production LED population: 4 green, 2 yellow and 2 red LEDs.
• Individual 1 kOhm series resistor on every LED channel.
• Single 1 x 9, 2.54 mm header for eight drive inputs and common ground.
• Common-ground passive LED architecture.
• No on-board controller, protocol or firmware required.
• Supplied fully assembled and functionally tested.

Typical Applications

• Battery, signal or sensor level indication
• Bar-graph style status displays
• System-state and diagnostic indication
• Robotics and embedded-control status panels
