The controller chips are labelled R,G & B 1-16. So each chip does 16 LEDs of the same colour. They each have a current set resistor. | The controller chips are labelled R,G & B 1-16. So each chip does 16 LEDs of the same colour. They each have a current set resistor. You can also set the current gain in software from 12.5% to 200% but this set the gain for all LEDs attached to that chip, not individual LEDs. The default power gain is 100%. | ||
There are two address line inputs and the LED chips seem to be soldered in to banks of 4. Which makes sense. | There are two address line inputs and the LED chips seem to be soldered in to banks of 4. Which makes sense. | ||

The LEDs are either on or off, there is no brightness control of individual LEDs possible. To mix colours, you need to implement a PWM or BCM waveform with each refresh cycle of the panel. | |||
