I just bought
SparkFun Electronics - LED Matrix - Serial Interface - Red/Green/Blue. I am going to use a
SparkFun Electronics - Prototyping Board for LPC2138 that i have around the house to program the first animation. Once i get all the code and stuff down. Then i will figure out how to mount it. Might need some help with that one.
This is a link to an example console output of the first animation. When i get the led matrix, it should be easy to put that on it.
