thanks for the tip about TI ... (I think maxim does the same...no?) (was many years ago)
noob question:
I see a lot of talk about 'SPI'
Is this a specific 'PIN'? or a protocol?
I believe I have seen it in reference to SD card.. and/or Audio as well??
Re: shift registers..
yes easy to code/command (target) would be nice...
I am hoping I can make some nice animations/patterns with it..
another noob moment..
MAX7221 is good one, SPI.transfer to 1 of 8 registers.
does this ean the chpi has 8 leads.. and each pin can control/have up to 8 leds on it?
8x8 = 64 leds in total?
(again..only because Im not 100% sure....I do not want to do anything with cubes or matrix'... just led 'ladder/strip'.. where I can target as many/all leds if I so choose for on/off patterns.
@CR-
I dont understand the physical size comment?
I am looking for several different sizes of caps.. (both SMD and traditional style/package...for breadboard)
