Hello Everyone:
I am starting a new stand-alone project using 16F88-16F628A.
Anyone who has already worked on similar or partial components of this project and would like to share please post your ideas. Feedbacks and inputs are welcome.
Description:
A tower of 3x3 RGB (9x3 bits) Base of the tower
10 Stories high
Stand-alone system
Use 16F628A or 16F88 as driving processor
Use 4017 Decade Counter for each stories
Concept:
Be able to individually address each RGB LED to have a specific color. There are 90 RGB LED's (9x10) that need to be addressed at each time. Refresh and do it again. Speed and efficiency is the key with goal of no flickering.
Write different codes to implement different effects and to access individual program.
Jump Start Idea:
Use 9 Outputs of the PIC as drivers
Use 3 Outputs of PIC for Color (RGB) (Multiplexing 27 channels)
Use 2 Outputs of PIC to Drive 4017 (Clock, Reset)-(Third Dimension Multiplexing)
Use RA4 of the PIC (Weak Pull-Up) as program select on the PIC with debounced tactile SW.
