First adriuno project made

I made my very first Ardiino project on Saturday 4th January 2014 - a 10 LED chaser (like the one seen in Knight Rider)!

I am gong to attempt multiplexing with 74hc595's to control more LEDs in a LED chaser

Hi, Try using this LED matrix to create something with it (for example a game or a screen). Practicing with it would help you a lot with Arduino. LED Matrix (8 x 8 Bi-Colour) – oomlout Good luck. A.A

I am trying 16 LEDs in a 4x4 matrix, the first time I wired my board , it didn't work properly - then I noticed I wired the LEDs wiring wrong - so gonna alter it!

i resently order a bunch of 74hc595s (25 of them) from EBay , i am thinking of using 4 of them to control 32 LEDs

Hi Peter,

Could you please explain why you will use 4 shift registers to control 32 LEDs? In the project I did, I controlled 64 LEDs with only 2! I think there might be a more efficient way to control the LEDs with less SRs, unless the LEDs matrix is connected in a weird way. I noticed that the Arduino you are using is different to the one I used, that might be the case, but I am not sure though.

Good luck

I Had some trouble wiring LEDs in a matrix , so I decided to try multiple shift registers to control the same idea (ie 16 or 32 LEDs in a row)

Might practice with matrix/s till I get the hang of it
