Hi Forgive me first time poster.Have played with the Picaxes for a while but am no expert, or even talented amateur.I'm still enjoying making LEDs flash.
The Project is to make multiple rgb banks of LED fade and change colour.
For example if i had ten banks of LEDs changing from red to blue and the banks were at slightly different start colours,
not only would the colour change but would also seem to wash along, or up, or what ever orientation the banks were.
Now before you all sigh and say not the RGB thing again let me explain.
I have built single unit involving one 08m running three 08ms with PWM, then wrote code for a 40x2 to control 30 08m's but the cost of 30 became to costly.
Have played with using HPWM and PWM on same chip, but did not like the effect,also have tried multiplexing but not bright enough.
Now the problem, discovered http://picprojects.org.uk/projects/simplergb/index.htm
Just what i need mayby so built a programmer and burnt some chips,
but i would like to control vie a picaxe as i understand Basic slightly more than the voodoo of assembly.
But i am stumped on the code to send, any help or just an example of a string to send.
Do not not want code writing just a little explanation.
PS its not homework
Thanks Gav
