Hi everyone, newbie here looking for some advice if possible.
Basically, i need a wee bit of help with a project i'm attempting with an Arduino Mega 1280.
Planning on building a 30 Channel ambilight using the 1280 and 2 x TLC5940NT chips.
Unfortunately, i have no breadboard for this but was planning on etching my own PCB for hooking to the 1280.
Can you tell me if this PCB looks like it will work ok or have i messed up. Unsure exactly how to interface the two so I'm hoping i transfered it from the breadboard layout i seen to the PCB design without any errors before i go building.
I assume you mean a TLC9540 chip not what you put.
You need to post the schematic before any usefull advice can be given.
There is no need to go for a PCB you can do prototypes with strip board.

Yeah, sorry about the mistake there, dunno how i managed to get muddled up there.
I went and design it on stripboard in Fritzing and got a schematic as well, not sure how good it is though, still learning so unsure.
There is no common connection to the anodes of the LEDs.
Ok, thanks for that, it's a great help. I really should invest in a breadboard for this sorta thing, lol. That used to etching pcb's that are already laid out ready.
The common anode connection will be provided seperately from a 12v power supply, there was no part in fritzing for rgb strips so figured rgb led's would do for the layout.
Again, many thanks for the help, it's appreciated.
