Hey Guys,
 

I hope I can get some help here.  I purchased a pcb kit and built a 4 ea 5 x 7 LED (red/green) display board with the marking on the PCB ALBAMatrix Display Rev 2.

 

I built the board and it seems to work the test routine which lights one column either red or green depending on the switch settings.

 

It uses a PIC 16F877 chip for the micro and 2 74HC245 surface mount chips for the communication to the leds.

 

I know this isn't an SX chip and I am sorry for asking here but I have seen several of the LED Matrix posts and thought someone may be able to help

me figure a way to use the board with the PIC or substitute and SX chip into the removable 40 pin socket.

 

I can be reached via email at [url=roy-kathycarlson@msn.com]roy-kathycarlson@msn.com[/url] or by cell phone during the day (east coast) at 904-536-7405.

 

I have attached the two pdf's that came with the board when I built it.

 

Thanks in advance for any input.

 

Roy Carlson

 

PS - I have some experience with the basic stamp and have tried to learn the SX and PIC Basic but haven't touched the software since late last year.
