#305 KeyboardMatrixModule/LedControl

Demo controlling the LEDs on a simple pushbutton/LED matrix module

Build

Notes

See LEAP#303 KeyboardMatrixModule for details of the module I am testing here.

It features 8 LEDs. I’ll test these with a simple direct-control program running on an Arduino.

8 LEDs

The board features 8 red LEDs with 1kΩ (102) current-limiting resistors and corresponding pins D1-8.

With VCC connected to power, when any pin D1-8 is pulled to ground the corresponding LED will light.

Test Program

The LedControl.ino sketch does no more than switch the LEDs on in order.

About LEAP

LEAP is my personal collection of electronics projects - usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting.

Projects are often inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the many great electronics podcasts and YouTube channels. Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know or send a pull-request.

NOTE: For a while I included various scale modelling projects here too, but I've now split them off into a new repository: check out LittleModelArt if you are looking for these projects.
