I realize I'm getting in kind of over my head, but what else is an unemployed aerospace engineer supposed to do with his time other than expand his engineering knowledge? I guess I figure I'll also have something to show for my being out of work for a few months when I go to interview again instead of having just vegged-out all the time.
It's not my project (I've done other stuff with AVR microcontrollers), and it's not the only project on that site where an array of LEDs is controlled. It's just one example. It doesn't take a huge leap of thought to see that you can/could just extend one of those projects with the multicolor functionality. I am not saying it's simple, but given a bit of diving into, you should be able to pull it off, if you dedicate yourself to it. In the meantime you'll learn a sh itload about microcontroller programming.
