Re: [neonixie-l] When a "Quick and Simple" project is neither quick nor simple

I know the feeling. Things can spiral out of control. Many years ago I came into some similar red 8x8 LED bricks for a price that seemed too good to be true. Yup, it was. They were very very dim. You can read about the TV set they ended up in, SatanVision, here. SatanVision LED Television cathodecorner.com These projects need to be built, if only to teach their builders a lesson.

What could go wrong ???? In my case, it was 8x8 bi-color LED arrays...for 86 cents each. LEDs are pretty easy to multiplex (imagine if it was direct-drive....129 pins ?? Yikes). So I literally bought a brick of them, 24 total, last summer and thought I could knock this project out pretty quick. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
