Yesterday I was able to get my first common-anode, common-cathode led matrix running successfully.  I Used the Arduino 0007 my school purchased for me to experiment with and a Dallas Semiconductor Maxim 7219 Serial LED controller.


I shot a video with a hacked CVS camera and uploaded to Google videos:


Maybe I'll post my notes on figuring out the Maxim chip (It took me about 2 hours....but then again I wasn't really trying for the first bit).  Maybe.

Honestly its kind of a long story. 

Nevertheless I am not going to be spending a semester in Heidelberg, Germany as I had planned.  Hopefully someday I will get to go but I don't think that it will be during my time here at college.

I have lately been spending a lot of time browsing around websites such as Make diyhappy and hackaday.  I really like creating and hacking things together so I feel like the things on these websites are chock full of content that I just love to read.
