Technical Aspects

Experience how easy and efficient programming is with our technology. Our development platforms are specifically designed to enable intuitive and powerful control of ISELED® LEDs.

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.

Why does Hebatronic not offer LIN-based solutions?2026-01-29T16:00:37+01:00

Hebatronic deliberately does not offer LIN-based solutions because LIN is not technically suited for modern ILaS® / ISELED® lighting systems beyond basic control functions.

LIN was designed as a low-speed control bus for simple actuators and sensors. With a maximum data rate of approximately 20 kbit/s, LIN is well suited for commands such as on/off, dimming, or basic status signals. However, it reaches its technical limits very quickly when used for today’s dynamic, high-resolution LED lighting systems.

Modern ILaS® / ISELED® applications require:

  • High bandwidth for color and brightness data

  • Deterministic timing for synchronized animations

  • Scalability to hundreds or thousands of LEDs

  • Detailed diagnostic feedback at LED level

These requirements are structurally incompatible with LIN. Using LIN as a transport layer for ILaS® functions inevitably leads to compromises in performance, diagnostics, flexibility, and scalability.

Hebatronic therefore focuses on ILaS-native architectures, where lighting data is handled directly on the ILaS® bus and controlled via industrial, deterministic interfaces (e.g. PLC-based systems). This avoids inheriting the technical limitations of LIN and allows the full capabilities of ILaS® to be used without restriction.

In short:

  • LIN is suitable for controlling simple lighting functions.

  • ILaS® is required for driving complex, modern LED lighting systems.

  • Hebatronic designs its solutions around the requirements of ILaS®, not around the limitations of LIN.

This is a conscious architectural decision to ensure long-term scalability, diagnostic depth, and production robustness.

 

 

What is the difference between LIN and ILaS®?2026-01-29T14:48:52+01:00

LIN (Local Interconnect Network) and ILaS® (Intelligent Lighting as a Service) are two fundamentally different communication systems used in vehicles, each designed for a specific purpose.

LIN is a classic, low-cost control bus. It was developed for simple actuators and sensors such as switches, motors, and basic lighting functions. LIN operates at a relatively low data rate and is mainly used to transmit control commands like on/off, dimming, or simple status information.

ILaS®, in contrast, is a high-speed bus specifically designed for modern LED lighting systems. It is optimized for ISELED®-based light modules and transmits synchronized color and brightness data to each individual LED in a chain. In addition, ILaS® enables detailed diagnostic feedback from every LED.

In short:

  • LIN is a control bus for simple functions.

  • ILaS® is a data bus for complex, dynamic LED lighting.

Key differences at a glance:

  • Data rate:
    LIN ≈ 20 kbit/s · ILaS® ≈ 2 Mbit/s

  • Typical use:
    LIN → basic control commands
    ILaS® → high-resolution lighting data and animations

  • Scalability:
    LIN → limited number of nodes
    ILaS® → thousands of LEDs in a single chain

  • Diagnostics:
    LIN → basic
    ILaS® → detailed, per-LED diagnostics

In modern vehicle and EOL test architectures, both systems are often used together:
LIN provides the higher-level control or test interface, while ILaS® handles the precise distribution, synchronization, and diagnostics of the lighting system.

 

Does the Arduino FastLED library support the Hebatronic products including the ILaS® – Shield ?2025-09-25T14:11:57+02:00

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.

Is the software included in the delivery?2025-03-17T20:12:42+01:00
