+// Pinscape Controller TLC5940 interface
+//
+// Based on Spencer Davis's mbed TLC5940 library.  Adapted for the
+// KL25Z, and simplified to just the functions needed for this
+// application.  In particular, this version doesn't include support 
+// for dot correction programming or status input.  This version also
+// uses a different approach for sending the grayscale data updates,
+// sending updates during the blanking interval rather than overlapping
+// them with the PWM cycle.  This results in very slightly longer 
+// blanking intervals when updates are pending, effectively reducing 
+// the PWM "on" duty cycle (and thus the output brightness) by about 
+// 0.3%.  This shouldn't be perceptible to users, so it's a small
+// trade-off for the advantage gained, which is much better signal 
+// stability when using multiple TLC5940s daisy-chained together.
+// I saw a lot of instability when using the overlapped approach,
+// which seems to be eliminated entirely when sending updates during
+// the blanking interval.

+/**
+  * SPI speed used by the mbed to communicate with the TLC5940
+  * The TLC5940 supports up to 30Mhz.  It's best to keep this as
+  * high as the microcontroller will allow, since a higher SPI 
+  * speed yields a faster grayscale data update.  However, if
+  * you have problems with unreliable signal transmission to the
+  * TLC5940s, reducing this speed might help.
+  *
+  * The SPI clock must be fast enough that the data transmission
+  * time for a full update is comfortably less than the blanking 
+  * cycle time.  The grayscale refresh requires 192 bits per TLC5940 
+  * in the daisy chain, and each bit takes one SPI clock to send.  
+  * Our reference setup in the Pinscape controller allows for up to 
+  * 4 TLC5940s, so a full refresh cycle on a fully populated system 
+  * would be 768 SPI clocks.  The blanking cycle is 4096 GSCLK cycles.  
+  *
+  *   t(blank) = 4096 * 1/GSCLK_SPEED
+  *   t(refresh) = 768 * 1/SPI_SPEED
+  *   Therefore:  SPI_SPEED must be > 768/4096 * GSCLK_SPEED
+  *
+  * Since the SPI speed can be so high, and since we want to keep
+  * the GSCLK speed relatively low, the constraint above simply
+  * isn't a factor.  E.g., at SPI=30MHz and GSCLK=500kHz, 
+  * t(blank) is 8192us and t(refresh) is 25us.
+  */
+#define SPI_SPEED 3000000

+/**
+  * The rate at which the GSCLK pin is pulsed.   This also controls 
+  * how often the reset function is called.   The reset function call
+  * rate is (1/GSCLK_SPEED) * 4096.  The maximum reliable rate is
+  * around 32Mhz.  It's best to keep this rate as low as possible:
+  * the higher the rate, the higher the refresh() call frequency,
+  * so the higher the CPU load.
+  *
+  * The lower bound is probably dependent on the application.  For 
+  * driving LEDs, the limiting factor is that lower rates will increase
+  * visible flicker.  200 kHz seems to be a good lower bound for LEDs.  
+  * That provides about 48 cycles per second - that's about the same as
+  * the 50 Hz A/C cycle rate in many countries, which was itself chosen
+  * so that incandescent lights don't flicker.  (This rate is a function 
+  * of human eye physiology, which has its own refresh cycle of sorts
+  * that runs at about 50 Hz.  If you're designing an LED system for
+  * viewing by cats or drosophila, you might want to look into your
+  * target species' eye physiology, since the persistence of vision
+  * rate varies quite a bit from species to species.)  Flicker tends to 
+  * be more noticeable in LEDs than in incandescents, since LEDs don't
+  * have the thermal inertia of incandescents, so we use a slightly
+  * higher default here.  500 kHz = 122 full grayscale cycles per
+  * second = 122 reset calls per second (call every 8ms).

+// outputs (using external circuitry to boost power - KL25Z GPIO ports
