Looks right. Just delete the comma at the end of line 327, since there are no more cases after the last one.

cool, how do i define those colors at the top to suit this particular project? i don't know how you got those currently there in the first place..

the colors i will need are:

GREEN, LTGREEN, DKGREEN, BLUE (or white), and red

also, did you read the post i put with the digit led? have to make that work with these.. been looking for good clear tutorials on digit leds and 8x8 matrix leds..

can you also show me the type of i/o pins and such i will need to hook up the 100 rgb leds?


thank you for your help btw..

As we've mentioned before - you can't get shades like light green and dark green without active PWM control.

Adafruit sells seven-segment LEDs, and offers a simple library for writing to them.

I'm not quite sure why you want to do this whole thing the hard way - assembling your own hardware, writing your own device drivers, etc. I still have no idea how you plan to individually control 100 RGB LEDs from a single arduino. It's simply not possible without a lot of ancillary hardware.

Go back through your posts - lots of people who understand the realities of what you're trying to do have been trying to steer you in the right direction.

Just about everything you need to do is already out there - done, working, available, and easy to use. Why are you trying to re-invent it all?
