Sorry Guys,

Please forgive me for stepping on your skills and asking for direction to some sample code to use as a backdrop to getting a 5x7 Matrix Display working.

I know I should learn from scratch all over again as I spent last year working through several of Parallax's beginner courses to get the basics. I am neither a software or microchop professional - only a hobbyist looking to learn to build things and have fun.

It is probably me that is in error - but your replys seemed to condem me for not starting with the basic lesson (which I did by buying two books and the PicKit2 along with the 44 Pin demo board.

Moving over from Parallax Basic to PicBasicPro is very different in that a lot more pre conditioning has to take place for the software to work with the many different chips that are out there to use.

I have also gone through lessons using PicAxe chips and was directed to PBasic & Pics by Reynold's Electronics as a means to save money - not true.

All I wanted to know is if anyone has developed software to run 4 - 5x7 LED Matrix Displays and what 40 Pin PIC would work best to program. I stated that the board I purchased and built uses 2 74HC425 chips to control the rows and 20 3904 transistors to control the columns.

The website listed for the part I built was working when posted.

IN CLOSING - HOW DO I REMOVE MY POST OR EDIT?
