Step 6Coding!
Now you are done with the soldering of the board and it is time to control it with some code.
On the Arduino playground you can find a library called TLC5940LED which helps you with all the hard parts of controlling the chip. You can find it here. http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/TLC5940
Download the library and unzip the whole folder in your arduino/hardware/libraries folder. After a restart of your arduino program you will find that under file/sketchbook/examples/TLC5940LED you will find some examples. In the example at the top you will find which wires to connect to where on the arduino.
Put the longer leg of the LEDs in +5V and the shorter leg in 0-15.
Upload the code and be proud of your work for five seconds after you should start modifying the code and hardware adding pieces and bits to create your OWN unique masterpiece.
Good luck!
