MAX7221 Led driver discussion (again)

Thank you very much..

It wasnt quite clicking (until now).. about how multi-plexing really works to drive ALL leds at the same time.

(switching @ 800mz comment makes sense now)

so it can turn on/off 64 'segments'... and what you declare/use as a segment is user defined.. (as long as it falls under the juice/threshold the chip can give/drive to any 1 'segment'...)

I am not currently doing this.. but what if your matrix had different colors?

or what if you were using an RGB strip? how do you account for leds that would possibly have different vF?

(now I just need to either find a nice, smaller strip (like 6-10 in.) in length with many leds in that smaller length.)

or figure out some way to make it myself..and align them in a strip as I need.

Thanks!

(ps. I never heard back from you after my last pm?)
