The CY8CLED16P01 device provides a robust solution to implement Powerline Communication (PLC) for command and control applications with LED lighting. This application note describes the design of an intelligent lighting system using CY8CLED16P01 that allows RGB LED control over Powerline and automatic node discovery of new light fixtures connected to the Powerline network. The attached code examples contain receiver firmware (LED fixture side) that can be tested on the CY3276 or CY3277 PLC kits and master firmware (control side) that can be tested on CY3274 or CY3275 kits. Also included is a GUI that can be installed on a PC and used as master side control for RGB lighting.
In this video it is shown, how Cypress's Powerline Communication solution can be used to control LED lighting.
