Unique concept using an 8x8 RGB Dot Matrix Display. The time is indicated using blocks of colour. The central 6x6 grid is split into 4 x (3x3) grids and each 3x3 block is a different colour. The number of LED's per 3x3 grid indicate the digit. i.e. if the first 3x3 grid...

64 pixel RGB LED Display - Another Arduino Clone - More DIY How To Projects]]> http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/FPU/5A82/FUI0SVDC/FPU5A82FUI0SVDC.SQUARE2.jpg http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/FPU/5A82/FUI0SVDC/FPU5A82FUI0SVDC.SQUARE.jpg http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/FPU/5A82/FUI0SVDC/FPU5A82FUI0SVDC.SMALL.jpg madworm This display is based on an 8x8 RGB LED Matrix. For testing purposes it was connected to a standard Arduino board (Diecimila) using 4 shift registers. After getting it to work I permatized it on a fabbed PCB. The shift registers are 8-bit wide and are easily interfaced with the SPI protocol. Pulse w...
