I did this for my computer engineering class. I think it was pretty cool. Put simply, it's an LED light show! To work this, you need to have an 8 (or more) LED lineup on a breadboard with pins 2-9 into the lights and a ground.

Do you have an "8 (or more) LED lineup on a breadboard with pins 2-9 into the lights and a ground"? That's why it didn't work. Insectoid, it'd be cool if you posted the circuit diagram so others can more easily understand what's going on. Just draw it up in paint or something. |

im doing somethign similar for my ISU, but i uses 8 leds, and a wand that moves back and worth really fast, and you can enter text in and it will display it in the air due to persistence of vision, seems nifty as a demo, cool stuff |

Sweet! you can buy those in the store, but if you can make it yourself, huzzah! |
