Communication with an ATtiny and Arduino. For saving Pins.

Wow guys! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!

Graynomad:
But you don't need MISO because you are only talking one way.

oh.. that right! Thanks! :open_mouth:

But I have some more questions guys... :roll_eyes:

It's alright.. I just want to understand how this "business" works. I will get a Attiny with more pins if needed. :wink: Thanks anyway! :wink:

How exactly to load it? $)

You can do it with an ATtiny, but you have to charlieplex the LED`s.

WOW! LOVE YOUR LINKS, THANKS! :smiley: :smiley:
really helpful.

Graynomad:
mixania, just use a shift register and save yourself a lot of pain :slight_smile:

Hmmm.. What about it? How it works? ]:smiley:

NiรฑoScript:
add 8 16bit I2C GPIO expanders, and use charlieplexing
there you go, direct control for 16256 LEDs, using only two pins of your Arduino

enough for a 25 x 25 x 25 LED cube

Wow! Man thats crazy! maybee some day.. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: $) 8) :astonished:
