Design of high-power dimming and color adjustment LED lights for Bluetooth remote control of mobile phones

Time:2023-05-12 Views:1029
1. Introduction
    On October 30, 2012, Philips sold the latest high-tech Hue series LED lights in the Apple Store and will only be sold by Apple. The Hue series will be completely customizable, and 16 million colors of light can be mixed through a red, blue, and green LED in a single bulb. The entire process is completely controlled by the app on the iPhone. This has sparked new thinking on the development of intelligent light control, and relevant domestic scholars have also conducted research. Considering that Hue adopts WiFi wireless control, while WiFi is not widely used in China, this study adopts a more common Bluetooth technology, which uses mobile Bluetooth to communicate with a microcontroller to generate an adjustable duty cycle PWM wave signal and control the LED driver circuit to achieve LED dimming and DIY color adjustment.
2. Pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming technology
    PWM dimming is a dimming technique that utilizes simple digital pulses to repeatedly switch on and off LED drivers. The application‘s system only needs to provide digital pulses with different widths and widths to easily change the output current and adjust the brightness of the LED. The advantage of PWM dimming is that it has a wide dimming range. As long as the bandwidth is sufficient, any analog value can be encoded using PWM. PWM dimming can accurately control the brightness of the LED while also ensuring the chromaticity of the LED emission.
2.1 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) dimming principle
     Utilizing the visual inertia of the human eye, the LED brightness is adjusted by operating the duty cycle at a fixed frequency. As long as the dimming ratio, i.e. the PWM wave frequency, is greater than 200Hz, the human eye will not feel the flashing of the LED. The specific dimming implementation is achieved by controlling the LED‘s on/off time, thereby controlling the LED brightness. From the perspective of electricity, it is to control the effective value of the current within a certain period. This method changes the effective value of the current without changing the voltage and current, thus ensuring the chromaticity of LED emission, which cannot be achieved by analog dimming and thyristor dimming.
2.2 Duty Cycle
    The duty cycle refers to the ratio of time that a high level occupies within a cycle. The duty cycle of the square wave is 50%, and the duty cycle is 0.5, indicating that the positive level takes up 0.5 cycles of time.
    Ts is the pulse period, and Tw is the pulse width
    Duty cycle τ= Tw/Ts × one hundred
    The explanation of the duty cycle can be summarized as follows:
    1) In an ideal pulse sequence (such as a square wave), the ratio of the duration of a positive pulse to the total period of the pulse.
    2) The ratio of the time occupied by a pulse to the total time during a continuous working period.
    3) In periodic phenomena, the ratio of the time at which the phenomenon occurs to the total time.
    That is, the ratio of the effective time for the circuit to release energy to the total release time.
2.3 Dimming ratio
    The dimming ratio is calculated as follows:
    Foper=working frequency, FPWM=dimming frequency, dimming ratio=Foper/FPWM
    In fact, it is the lowest effective duty cycle of dimming, such as Foper=100khz; If FPWM=200Hz, the dimming ratio is 100k/200=500
3. Bluetooth module composition
3.1 Bluetooth Technology Fundamentals
    The founder of Bluetooth is Swedish company Ericsson. Bluetooth technology is an open global specification for wireless data and voice communication, based on low-cost close range wireless connections, establishing a special connection for fixed and mobile device communication environments. It has become common practice to achieve data sharing between mobile phones through Bluetooth, and transforming mobile phones into remote controls brings infinite convenience to people‘s lives 1]
     Bluetooth technology consists of three parts, including Bluetooth radio technology, Bluetooth protocol stack and Bluetooth interoperability.

    Bluetooth radio operates globally. 4 G H zISM (i.e. industrial, scientific, medical) frequency band, supporting full duplex transmission, using the IEEE802.15 protocol. Bluetooth devices are ready to connect and use, with strong anti-interference ability and easy to use [2]
3.1.2 Bluetooth protocol stack
    The Bluetooth protocol stack includes a software stack and a hardware stack. The Bluetooth hardware protocol stack is provided by Bluetooth hardware, and the Bluetooth software protocol stack is implemented by software. The Bluetooth software protocol stack provides Java Bluetooth APIs for program developers to use.
