Component
---------

The TLC59208F component represents a Texas Instruments TLC59208F 8-bit PWM driver
(`datasheet <http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/tlc59208f>`__,
`hw example <https://faboplatform.github.io/ArduinoDocs/03.I2C%20Brick/211_brick_i2c_7seg/>`__) in ESPHome. It
uses :ref:`I²C Bus <i2c>` for communication.

To use the channels of this components, you first need to setup the
global ``tlc59208f`` chip and specify its address and id, and then define the
:ref:`individual output channels <tlc59208f-output>`.

.. code-block:: yaml

    # Minimalistic configuration entry, single chip, single output
    tlc59208f:
      address: 0x10
      id: tlc59208f_1

    # Individual outputs
    output:
      - platform: tlc59208f
        tlc59208f_id: 'tlc59208f_1'
        channel: 0

Configuration variables:
************************

-  **address** (*Optional*, int): The I²C address of the driver.
   Defaults to ``0x20``.
-  **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for
   this tlc59208f component. Use this if you have multiple TLC59208Fs connected at the same time

PWM Output
----------

The TLC59208F output component exposes a TLC59208F PWM channel of a global
:ref:`TLC59208F chip <tlc59208f-component>` as a float
output.

    Sample application of a TLC59208F 8-Channel PWM Driver.

.. code-block:: yaml

    # Complete example configuration entry for 3 drivers and 4 outputs
    # Maximum 64 drivers with 8 outputs each
    tlc59208f:
      - address: 0x20
        id: tlc59208f_1
      - address: 0x22
        id: tlc59208f_2
      - address: 0x24
        id: tlc59208f_3

    # Individual outputs
    output:
      - platform: tlc59208f
        id: 'tlc59208f_1_ch0'
        channel: 0
        tlc59208f_id: 'tlc59208f_1'
      - platform: tlc59208f
        id: 'tlc59208f_1_ch4'
        channel: 4
        tlc59208f_id: 'tlc59208f_1'
      - platform: tlc59208f
        id: 'tlc59208f_2_ch2'
        channel: 2
        tlc59208f_id: 'tlc59208f_2'
      - platform: tlc59208f
        id: 'tlc59208f_3_ch7'
        channel: 7
        tlc59208f_id: 'tlc59208f_3'
    
    # Sample use as a RGB light
    light:
      - platform: rgb
        name: "Sample RGB light"
        red: tlc59208f_1_ch0
        green: tlc59208f_1_ch4
        blue: tlc59208f_2_ch7

Configuration variables:
************************

- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this output component.
- **channel** (**Required**, int): Choose the channel of the TLC59208F for
  this output component. Must be in range from 0 to 7.
- **tlc59208f_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the
  :ref:`TLC59208F chip <tlc59208f-component>`.
  Use this if you have multiple TLC59208Fs you want to use at the same time.
- All other options from :ref:`Output <config-output>`.
