w0w amazing!!!

@aktechfreak code is available from MadWorm, linked to from my blog. I want to link to him since I basically copied his entire code.

@aktechfreak I had only 3 in this phase of the project. I ended up with 4, 3 for R, G, B and one for the cathodes.

That is f*cking unbelievable. Major kudos there. Hope to get that many LEDs someday, maybe I can make a neat array out of them. Seems to be the cool thing to do ;) Most LEDs I've had in a row so far have been just the 8 of my 10-year-old Radio Shack electronic project lab... but with how cheap they are on Mouser, it's really just up to "can I figure out how to use EAGLE and etch up a PCB that can handle them all?"...

Unless, of course... did you buy that matrix pre-made or as a kit, or all DIY?

@Volatus I bought the matrix pre-built from eBay and I built the board to power it from scratch. Details are on my blog (link in the details).

You're right, the finished product (see my other videos) has 4. This was just a mock up.

I am working on a similar project with that very led matrix from sparkfun. i foudn the addressingt o be a bit strange. Check out my videos- i am also working with shift registers. I'd be grateful to look at your code, so I can understand wtf is really going on with those addressing modes.

Those are 3 8 bit shift registers, right?

Hit me back, your project looks awesome!

Nice! Is the code available anywhere please?
