Me again... getting back into the project after a big break.

Has anyone had further progress on this circuit (not using PIC's, I mean?)

Hey there... Good News! I've got the basic "sequencer" down and running in an 8-Bit configuration, and ready to be cascaded into 48. The only thing I can't figure out is how to attach a beeper to beep for each light on/off event. I'd attach it to the 555 timer I have driving the circuit, b...

Kinda depends on where you live... If you have a WalMart nearby, go look in the 'funky lamps' section. Here, they usually stock those lamps made of nothing but fibre-optic strand. Granted, its not communications quality ans usually melts if you put model glue on it... But, I'm using it to light up a...

If I have any luck on my end, I'll certainly send you a schematic. I seem to remember actually doing this in an electronics lab way back in 94-95 at school.

Cheers!

Hey there fellas. I just noticed that there are some new display bases with room for 48 LED's coming soon. Though I'm a bit of a NOOB on these boards, I have a background in electronics. The only problem is that I haven't done it in a good while, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to simulate t...
