I have a couple of these chips, both in SMD and DIP. Quite often I shy away from playing with them due to the 'hassle' of setting them up. Maybe this will help a bit. The boards are just 32x32mm

I did a test assembly. The potentiometer is not the right kind (wrong package and wrong resistance range), but it works ;-) It can easily be used with the arduino ' shiftPWM ' library. Up to 100mA per channel if you keep an eye on the chip temperature. Made with KiCad .

I won the fight against this MBI5030 PWM LED driver. It turned out that the datasheet I got from the distributor's website is "preliminary". I was trying to use stuff that simply isn't in the final silicon (like parity check for example). Still some functions don't work (like auto-shutoff if the PWM clock is missing). Oh well... The resulting Arduino-ized code may be found here .

Getting there...
