Hi all, How many PiicoDev 3x RGB LED Modules can be daisy chained together.
Thanks Rob

Hey there, @Rob308771, and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here.

Technically, there’s a couple of different answers to this question.

To give you the easy and realistic answer: 5 or 6.

Slightly more complicated answer: 8. Using the binary switches, you can assign each board to one of the addresses 0x08->0x17. You might need to cut the I2C PullUp Resistors for that to work, however, as outlined below:

Hi Jane, Thankyou for the prompt reply. Most helpful Thankyou

No worries, Rob. Have a lovely weekend.

This is an interesting case for the CE07910. Using them with a Jetson Orin Nano devkit they seem to take out the i2c bus. I have attached about 7 other types of piicodev modules that all work fine. The LED RGB modules (tried 4 different ones) always kills the i2c bus. I have tried cutting the pull up connections, still kills the bus. I can only think maybe the 100KHz speed is the issue but I need it for imus.

Hey there, @Nigel164388,

It’s killing the I2C bus just by connecting it to the Jetson Nano?

When you say kills, I am presuming you mean that it completely stops any communications occurring with anything on the bus.

If the RGB Module is the only thing connected to the bus, I take it it’s still down and not working. What kind of error messages are you getting in the code? If you perform an I2C scan, is anything showing up?
