Technical Aspects

Learn more about our passion for innovative LED technologies and our mission to provide high-quality and reliable development platforms. Discover how we support projects worldwide and bring your visions to life.

Arduino IDE

The open-source Arduino software (IDE) allows you to quickly and easily upload code to the board. This is a real advantage for our customers, as the platform is particularly intuitive, flexible, and ready to use immediately.

FastLED – Animation library

If you want it to look particularly beautiful, you can easily control your ISELED® lights with the FastLED animation library by simply replacing the FastLED commands with FastISELED.

Arduino compatible

Thanks to Arduino compatibility, you can easily add switches, sensors, interfaces, and displays to customize your projects. This allows you to create solutions for a wide range of requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our ILaS®-Shield

Here you will find answers to the most common questions about our ILaS®-Shield. If you need further information, visit our Help Center or contact us directly.

Does the Arduino FastLED library support the Hebatronic products including the ILaS® – Shield ?2024-11-26T10:52:38+01:00

If you only want to control ISELED®, then you can use the FastLED functions. For ILaS® we currently only have the basic commands like Set_Dimm_Level, and Set_RGB; just like Adafruit’s Neopixel. However, we will provide the FastLED conversion for IlaS® in the future. We also have other solutions for more unusual programming requirements. Please contact us.

What is ILaS®?2024-11-18T17:18:12+01:00

ILaS® is a new fieldbus that can transmit various light sequences at a bus data rate of 2 Mbit/s, enabling video-speed control. ILaS® stands for “ISELED® Light and Sensor” and is currently mainly used in the automotive sector, particularly by BMW in vehicles starting in 2025. With this fieldbus, not only can LEDs be controlled via the ISELED protocol, but sensors and actuators can also be integrated and read in any quantity and combination. With the continuously growing number of LEDs, especially in vehicles, significantly higher data rates for control and diagnostics can be realized.

How is the ILaS®-Shield (ILaS®duino) operated?2024-11-18T17:27:14+01:00

The ILaS®duino is powered via USB or 12V. To do this, connect the ISELED®uino pins E_P, E_N, and Gnd to ILAS_H_IN, ILAS_L_IN, GND. The ISELED® lighting modules can be powered with external 12V, but it is essential to connect the GNDs together. On the ISELED®uino, all pins can be used except for A3, A5, and A6. These are the communication pins between the microcontroller and the ILaS®-Shield.

Is the software included in the delivery?2024-11-18T17:29:08+01:00

We provide a free sample program for controlling the ISELED. To do this, install the Arduino IDE (version 1.8.19, as the library storage is different in versions 2.x) (https://www.arduino.cc/en/software).

Search for and install ‘Arduino SAMD (32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+)’ boards in the Board Manager.

Unzip the included sample program into the Arduino subdirectory Libraries.

Restart the Arduino IDE and select ‘MKRZERO’ in the Board Manager.

Is there documentation for the software?2024-11-18T17:30:09+01:00

The documentation is part of the sample program that we provide free of charge.

Which version of the Arduino IDE should be used?2024-11-18T17:31:58+01:00

Install the Arduino IDE version 1.8.19 (https://www.arduino.cc/en/software) on a PC/Laptop with administrator rights.

Note: newer versions 2.x are not suitable as it is more difficult to find the libraries.
In the Arduino IDE, select the Board Manager under Tools, load Arduino SAMD, then select Arduino MKR Zero:

(https://store.arduino.cc/en-de/collections/mkr-family/products/arduino-mkr-zero-i2s-bus-sd-for-sound-music-digital-audio-data).

For example, copy our ISELED library (included sample file) into the subdirectory Arduino\libraries.
You can place this .ino sample file in your individual project directory.
