RGB Led Matrix, Hardware update
Thursday I recieved my package from SparkFun with the RGB Led matrixes.. How nice!
I could’t wait to put them together.. So I did
This are the first results..
I connected all the Matrixes together by a flatcable between the ICSP programming connectors removing the MISO and CS wires. Next I build a simple board with a PCF8574A (An I2C 8-bit I/O Expander) that provides the Chip Select signals for the RGB Matrix boards. (I’ll post a schematic when the project matures).
Next thing to do is update the software in the RGB matrixes. These matrixes all have an Atmel atmega8 controller. I hope I can make the displays PWM compatible so I can make more colors..
