abecedarian 330 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Okay, I'm thinking: 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 1 (1/3) (1/3) 1 2 (2/4) 2 1 (1/3) (1/3) 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 Don't know if that makes sense.... "1" are LED's on the bottom level, "2" are LED's on the second level up "3" are LED's on the third level up "4" is the sole LED at the top. Note the 1/3 are LED's in the same row/column but different level (1 on the bottom, 3 on the third layer up) and 2/4 is similar, with the 2 and 4 LED's on the second and top layer, respectively. So, it's 16 LED's on the bottom layer, 9 LED's on the next, 4 on the 3rd and 1 at the top, for a total of 30 LED's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might be something more worthy of the LM4F Launchpad with its DSP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Construction starting soon. I'm leaning towards common cathode unless someone has something else to add. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hova 7 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 a binary clock mayhaps?!.... I feel the same way sometimes. I know a bit about electronics (nothing solid , just bits and pieces from trying to get into the hobby many times before) , but it's still something that I have never had the urge to just sit there and experiment and figure stuff out . I guess I got over-excited with the capabilities of the msp , and what I want out of it. I should start with an LED counter/meter of a sort... oh where to start... -hov Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Okay, I've decided to do it like this: [1] [1] [1] [1] [2] [2] [2] [1] [3] [3] [1] [2] [4] [2] [1] [3] [3] [1] [2] [2] [2] [1] [1] [1] [1] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Okay, I've decided to do it like this, concentric rings: [1] [1] [1] [1] [2] [2] [2] [1] [3] [3] [1] [2] [4] [2] [1] [3] [3] [1] [2] [2] [2] [1] [1] [1] [1]Layer 1 (on the board) & Layer 3 (3rd level up) make a common cathode 4x4 matrix.Layer 2 (second level up) & Layer 4 (4th level = apex of the pyramid)make a common cathode 3x3 matrix. Any considerations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tingo 22 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The thing that I've found works really well - if you've got a big project - bite off one tiny bit at a time. This is good advice, and it works on everything. abecedarian 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
