Abstract: A controller for an illumination device is provided. The controller may comprise a data input module configured to receive an input signal, a determining module, with at least one data format stored thereon for driving at least one type of LED device, wherein the determining module is configured to determine whether the input signal received from the data input module belongs to the at least one data format and generate an output signal based on the input signal, and a data output module configured to drive the illumination device based on the output signal received from the determining module. The controller may further comprise a command input module configured to receive a command from a user. A method for controlling an illumination device and one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions, that when being executed, cause a controller to perform the above method are provided.
