PDB Wiring of RGB LED

Introduction

The RGB LEDS communicate using a SPI-like communication which is modified in that it is unidirectional. The data and power for the LEDs is supplied by a STEMMAQT type connector the PDB, and the SCL SDA (SPI) lines have a second wire connector which attaches between the PDB and SPI port on MR-CANHUBK344

The following image shows the LED lights setup with the left side representing the rear and the right side indicating the front of the car. This is pre-assembled. If for some reason you need to re-create these connections, you should know that it is a daisy chain of STEMMA-QT type connectors, and that there is a marked IN and OUT connector on each of the LED light bars. The connections are from PDB -> IN(rear) -> out(rear) -> in (front)

Note that STEMMA-QT connectors are used but ABUSED and carry SPI signals not the normal STEMMA QT (I2C) signals.

Use the seven-pin JST-GH wire depicted in the picture below to connect from PDB to MR-CANHUBK344

1. Connect one end of the wire to SPI pin of the PDB.
