4x4 Arduino RGB LED Multiplex

An attempt at re-creating Grumpy Mike's 4x4 matrix sans push buttons.

I'm attempting to ultimately create a 7x7 RGB LED matrix via multiplexing with an Arduino and 3 TLC5940 LED drivers.

I'm trying to start by building a 4x4 matrix with the instructions from http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Hardware/Mini_Monome.html

So far, I've been able to get whole columns to light up individually but am trying to get individual LED's to fire independently.

    You've layed out the design on a bunch of breadboards but didn't do anything with the Schematic or PCB. It isn't really ready to share.

    If you look at the project " Knightrider " with the 16 lights. I have been playing with his code and getting alot of different effects by playing with the register numbers. There are 2 rows that look like 128,63,32,8,4,2,1,0,0,0,0,0 etc. You can change any of these values and it gives you different. effects. It is a slow process, try it, change a zero to 64 and see what happens. Build the knightrider sketch and play with it. The lights dont have to be in a straight row. Let me know how you make out
