I don't know how you intend to apply power just to the pos and neg of the grid; or did you mean to rows and columns?@alec: couldnt I just have 16? because I would only be applying power to the pos and neg of the grid?

We were talking about a 64 x 64 matrix. You could use 64 digital NMOSFETS for the negative lines(rows?) and 64 digital PMOSFETS for the (columns?).Why couldn't I use 8 transistors for the negatives and 8 transistors for the positives? Why would I need shifters?
@BeerBelly: Ya they are cheap, around a $1.50 on mouser, however 128 of these (64 and 64) would get pretty pricy. Is there any other simpler/cheaper solutions
Unless of course I can see if I can get the coils to work with 5 volts from the 595's, .
