In this project, we’ll create a rainbow light show using an 8×8 RGB LED matrix. We’ll also use shift registers to extend the Arduino and control the matrix.


PARTS REQUIRED
• Arduino board
• 2 full-size breadboards
• Jumper wires
• 8×8 RGB LED matrix
• 4 74HC595 shift registers
• 16 220-ohm resistors
• 8 330-ohm resistors
An RGB LED matrix (Figure 24-1) is a grid of 64 red, green, and blue LEDs. You can create the colors of the rainbow by controlling each LED individually and by mixing colors together. ...
