I have lost my way in the world of software and its now time to brush the dust off my interest in building hardware
I have looked into using Neo-pixels strips and I was really impressed with the simplicity of use. Now I was curious about controlling a matrix of individual, non-addressable RGB LEDs. So I searched out a LED Matrix driver that looked like it could handle RGB LEDs. My search ended with the IS31FL3736 12×8 DOTS MATRIX … Continue reading RGB LED Controller
Introduction I have written about the Timed LED Lighting Controller in previous posts. Starting with the original entry “Stairwell Foot Lighting System”. In this entry I will be wrapping up the project and describing the change of direction from the initial design and layout. There may be a bit of overlap but it will be … Continue reading Wrapping up the Timed LED Lighting Controller Project
While waiting for the display board to return from OSHPark, I was also interested in an alternative module. I had mentioned this idea before and it was time to start taking a closer look. For the purpose, I created another branch in GitHub rather than creating a whole new project. The key feature of this … Continue reading Display Revisited
The layout is now done and made the rather gutsy decision to send it off to OSHPark for fabrication. In hindsight, I could have done this cheaper in that I actually opted for a 4 layer board with the ground and power on the inner layers just to get them out of the way. I did … Continue reading Getting Connected
