What microcontroller(s) and how many?

rgb at 60fps 4096 colours must be a LOT of IO lines!

[eduxas0]

Two micros: PIC18F4550 and dsPIC30F4011.

And just 64*3+8 input lines. Multiplexing helps a lot here :)

You didn't made this all by yourself? You used a ready project and just wrote firmware?

[eduxas0]

No, i did all by my self (excpet the inspiration which came from the web). That's exactly why i don't have the schematics :) Usually i don't bother making schematics for my self.

[mog123noblog]

can u share the schematics?

[eduxas0]

I don't have one. Only PCB files and firmware for microcontrollers.

Good animations

Godlike =D

I'm making a similar project for myself, and am designing the exact same (or strikingly similar) program to run within it. Could you send me your code? I just want to see how you handled the data.

[mog123noblog]

neither do I :)

At least tell me what do u use etc.

1 microcontroller? Share the code :)
