Thanks for all the replies. They have been very helpful.

hi everyone, im adam from france im 20
im in an internship now ,

im working on an interactive panel of monochrom leds, i have done the scheme on the electronic board using a pic18F4520 via TLC 5940 for driving 16 leds plus 2 IR leds "one transmits the signal while the second receives it" in order to blink leds just by moving one's hand upon the panel, i have beeen inspired by the schemes with "arduino" micros already done on the web by other people , and i tried to do the same with the pic , i think im ready for the next level by programming the 16 leds ,I HAVE TO DO IT WITH c language, but as im not that good with C , i hope you could give me some help through this study,

i have done the same with my pic http://students.washington.edu/acleo...5940_close.png

YouTube - Interactive LED Panels: New version, white LEDs its the concept but that is analogic , im using microcontroler so as to be programmed in a digital way

hi guys ,

i gave up with PIC18F4520 and mplab, i have bought an arduino atmega 168 board , and i have done the circuit connecting it with a tlc 5049and 16 leds , i have found some libraries in arduino software it's very helpful than the mplab , now my circuit works and my leds blink ,but i have to connect the whole thing with 2 photo IR diodes, the first emmits and the second receives so as to get an interactive panel with leds blinking just by moving my hand upon the circuit , so my problem remains in how can i connect these IR photodiodes on the test board , ihave followed some instruction on some websites on how to connect them but , im not getting any results , please , my internship period of time is running out unfortunately , i have to get it done this week . thanks for any suggestions
i ve been based on many ancient projects similar to mine coz im using exactly the same components but unfortunatly it doesnt contain IRleds for interactivity , you can understand more , by seeing these links thanks tlc5940arduino - Google Code "photodiodes"
Photo-Reflectors
YouTube - Interactive LED Panels: New version, white LEDs you will understand more with this vid , but this one is an analogic panel (without) microcontroller , me i have to do it with microcontroller that's why ive chosen arduino instead of pic , btw i have a confusion abt using phototransistor or photodiode , they play the same role but i dont knw whiwh one i can use to be with the diode that receives plus i dont knw how to get them on the board , ive tried different schemes but it didnt work thanks

hi all,

my problem is that i can't find eagle 4.09r2 libraries for tlc4950 and ARDUINO MINI, i've already tested some examples found on the net but all of them was conceived for eagle 5.6.0 and that wasn't accepted by the 4.09 version .so i'm really pissed off , it's making me sick ,lol, i don't know where to get them,

thank you for all suggestion

i dont thnk its upgradable , i dont knw how , any other suggestions thanks

how to create in version 4.09r2? i've succeeded in creating the package , and the symbol but when i go to create the device and click on "add" i just cant find the symbol that i created in order to make the connections between the symbol and the package .

ps : when i go to look at the libraries i only find the package not the symbol besides him as all the components are

someone told me i should export the libraries of the 5.6 version as a script to my 4.09 version, but i dont knw how , thanks for any suggestions
