RGB Led Matrix, Hardware update

December 1st, 2008 Elze Leave a comment Go to comments

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 :P 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..
