Hello jeremy, I would like your help on a project that I am doing now, I am working on a tachometer using an arduinno and TLC5940 led driver to display the RPM using a series of RGB leds, I would like some help on the coding part. Thank you.

Sincerly

Walid.

Your going to be a busy man Jeremy.

I would suggest you break this post down in to separate postings before it get more confusing than it is.

Hi Walid
If you're looking for some example TLC5940 code with LEDs, this may be of interest

Could you provide more info? I can't write all the code for you, but if you get started, I can help when you run into a roadblock.

Haha, yeah. element14 setup this post though, and I get auto notified of posts. It'd be crazy if I got notified of every single post in the arduino category...

Agreed. A TI launch pad, or a AVR atmel might also be good if you're ready to get a bit more advanced.

thank you for the fast response, I know how busy you are, I am not asking for writing the code, I am doing that now, I just want to know if I can use a software intterupt to recive the input signal and then how would I output it to the leds. just the general idea. Thank you.
