I finally took some time to finish soldering, and then started programming a text scroller.
Here is the result: http://youtu.be/zPXw2Tcew-Q

Hey Jason,

Good luck with it, would love to see it working with the mbed. I’ve got a few of them, but the online-only compiler just doesn’t work with my lifestyle, so they’ve been of little use to me.

I’m thinking about doing something like this for the mbed, since I got one through my school. I will start out by buying one of yours, and figuring out how to program charlieplexed led’s but eventually I could design and use a bigger shield, as the mbed has 26 general i/o pins, along with usb and ethernet.

[...] to find out more about how the kit works, you can check out the development process part one, and part two. You can learn to make the kit here, and learn how to program it [...]

Yep, getting rid of the resistor going to the pin13 LED is going to be in the instructions as a suggestion.

Ghosting on those LED’s is from the competition from your on-board pin 13 LED, yank it, or at least that LED’s resistor and the problem will be gone.

Sure, that isn’t a problem

i made a interrupt powerded library for the LOL Shield. It controls 11 LEDs in 12 steps, so the shield will be much more bright.

I built a red and a green shield at 26C3. It was lot of fun and your instructions helped alot, Thanks Jimmy! Both of my shields work as expected. However, I have some “ghosts” (not permanent) in the upper right hand corner (top row, LEDs 1, 3, 5 from right to left). Both shields show this behaviour, and even your video above. Design issue? Arduino weakness? Can’t be my soldering skills, since its also in the video. Any idea?

This looks very cool, I look forward to buying a kit to play with!

So simple, yet so awesome. I’d love to see them in real but unfortunately I won’t make it to the congress this year. Can’t wait for you to finish the pcbs, though. A purpose for my spare Arduino Boards, finally!
