Hello,
I wish to create a rectangular panel of led's that are controlled by a home pc to turn on and off individual led's.
I've worked out pretty much what I need to get it all together except for the interface for PC - LED's. I need something that I can write a driver for to address each led on the rectangular array/matrix individually, being able to turn them on and off. This would then allow for further programming to fully control the led's to form visual parrents etc.
For example on a four led display there would be two led's on each row:
#LED# #LED#
#LED# #LED#
What kind of device would allow me to plugin the inputs from the basic pcb (with a matrix of leds setup on it) and then control the switching on/off of the led's via a computer - through maybe something like rs232 or maybe even usb?
