# APA102 Driver :id=apa102-driver
|
|
|
|
This driver provides support for APA102 addressable RGB LEDs. They are similar to the [WS2812](ws2812_driver.md) LEDs, but have increased data and refresh rates.
|
|
|
|
## Usage :id=usage
|
|
|
|
In most cases, the APA102 driver code is automatically included if you are using either the [RGBLight](feature_rgblight.md) or [RGB Matrix](feature_rgb_matrix.md) feature with the `apa102` driver set, and you would use those APIs instead.
|
|
|
|
However, if you need to use the driver standalone, add the following to your `rules.mk`:
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
APA102_DRIVER_REQUIRED = yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then call the APA102 API by including `apa102.h` in your code.
|
|
|
|
## Basic Configuration :id=basic-configuration
|
|
|
|
Add the following to your `config.h`:
|
|
|
|
|Define |Default |Description |
|
|
|---------------------------|-------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
|`APA102_DI_PIN` |*Not defined*|The GPIO pin connected to the DI pin of the first LED in the chain|
|
|
|`APA102_CI_PIN` |*Not defined*|The GPIO pin connected to the CI pin of the first LED in the chain|
|
|
|`APA102_DEFAULT_BRIGHTNESS`|`31` |The default global brightness level of the LEDs, from 0 to 31 |
