:) Can you make it play a song?
Nooo. Really no. Don't make me want to spend even more money designing my own PCBs as well. Yes, I'd love to. I've already spent too much. Lots of little spends adds up.
Do all 5/10/whatever boards need to be the same?
ShiftPWM allows you to choose the PWM frequency so the other library isn't needed.
It seems anything over "75" stops any flickering. I had it at 150.
I'll try 3 shift registers tomorrow.
Currently yes, but I'd have to hand code it and I think I'd go insane. Next job is improving the software. A lot.
I can wait til the software is better. Can you play the theme from Project X on the Amiga?
Aha. Handy. Is 150Hz enough with them dimmed? Think it's more noticeable in a dark room too. Lots of useful libraries for the Arduino.
I'm still waiting for my two Nanos. I have a USBASP programmer which I'll use with my Pro Mini for now. Also waiting for a FTDI adapter which will be an easier connection than the USBASP. Gonna have a play with the nRF24L01 transceivers. Did you add a capacitor to the power connections on yours?
I asked on the Arduino forums about the bits in that LED controller. They are FETs and rated at 2.8A. Must be heat dissipating pads.
If you give me a midi file of it.
I will try and find one and give it to you (YJ)
I wired up my LED strip the other night using a BC547. I'm sure I had it connected right but the LEDs didn't respond to the PWM unless I swapped the transistor around the other way. Any ideas if my circuit is correct?
Different transistors definitely have different pinouts in case you looked at a generic schematic.
