Abstract
There is provided a system comprising a driver and a control module, the control module capable of translating a received control signal having a first control scheme into a driver control signal having a predetermined second control scheme; and wherein the driver is configured for generating a driver output based on the identity of the first control scheme and the driver control signal. A driver, control module, and a method of controlling an LED system are also provided.

A system comprising a driver and a control module,
- the control module capable of translating a received control signal having a first control scheme into a pulse width modulated driver control signal, and configured to transmit the pulse width modulated driver control signal and the identity of the first control scheme to the driver;
- and
- wherein the driver is configured for generating a driver output based on the identity of the first control scheme and the pulse width modulated driver control signal.
30-34. (canceled)
A method of controlling an LED system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a control module and LED driver,
- the control module being capable of translating a received control signal having a first control scheme into a pulse width modulated driver control signal,
- transmitting the pulse width modulated driver control signal and the identity of the first control scheme to the LED driver;
- and
- generating an LED driver output based on the identity of the first control scheme and the pulse width modulated driver control signal.
(canceled)
A system comprising a control module,
- the control module comprising:
- an input for receiving a control signal including a first control scheme;
- a processor capable of translating the control signal into a driver control signal having a predetermined second control scheme;
- and
- an output for sending the driver control signal to a driver.
