Hope you're having better luck with the driver chips... They're not terribly difficult to work with. My code wasn't as complicated but I was able to pin point and light any specific LED I want using only the drivers and minimal outputs from the LogoChip. Of course, I had three 16-bit drivers which expanded the number of LEDs I could use and control. I have found that the output enable pin is very handy, especially to avoid ghosting. Your project should concentrate more on the software rather than the hardware, I think. I hate Port A of the LogoChip. It must have something to do with the analog inputs. Have you tried disabling them? Good luck!! Interesting to see what you’re up to. Hope you’re having better luck with the driver chips… They’re not terribly difficult to work with.
