 shows the interface protocol selected in the 

Home

 page. Click the 

Configure & Connect

 button to

connect the USB2ANY with the LP5860EVM. The I2C protocol with 0x10 chip address is the default. Other
addresses with 0x11, 0x12, and 0x13 and SPI are also available.

Click the 

START

 button below the 

LED CONTROL

 block to set current and PWM for every individual LED.

Other configurable functions can also be set through graphical buttons in this page. Predefined animations are
performed with the

 page while every individual register is configured in the 

REGISTER MAP

 page.
