The PONG I made is available here : http://benjamin.sonntag.fr/a74-26c3_Day_2_A_Microntroller-based_led_panel_from_Jimmie.html Hi Jimmie !

They can be used for I2C, analog input, general I/O, etc. Which makes them a little too useful to just run a few LEDs IMHO. There is still enough space for 6 more LEDs along the bottom if you want a few more in the existing matrix. ;-) I thought about adding another row and column, but 10x15 wouldn't really add much more, and you wouldn't have any extra space on the board. I have a tiny prototype area along the bottom left, and spots to bring the analog and power pins further out. Yep trilex, I purposefully left them open though.

P.S. The "analog in" pins can also be used as digital pins. You just address them as digital pins 14 thru 19. This means you could charlieplex more LEDs, not that you could fit them on there anyways.

So is the freerouter & schematic symbol maker online tool and java footprint module maker.

I'm getting dizzy just looking at that schematic. there's no way I'd get all the junctions right. I bow to your meticulousness. way to go man!
