Hardware
Here is a quick list of what we are using, but there should be a more extensive and elegant list shortly:
- Arduino Diecimila (1)
- Sparkfun 4×4 Buttonpads (4)
- Sparkfun 4×4 Breakout PCB (4)
- 1 x MAX7219CNG+
- 1 x 74HC165n
- 1 x 74HC164n
- 1 x ED90053-ND (digikey #) socket for MAX7219
- 1 x ED90050-ND (digikey #) socket for 74HC165n
- 1 x ED90049-ND (digikey #) socket for 74HC164n
- 3 x .1uf ceramic capacitor
- 1 x 10uf Electrolitic
- 1 x ?K resistor (this value is determined by the type of led you use. It sets the maximum potential current to the leds. See http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/MAX72XXHardware for more info)
- 1 x 770-101-R100KP-ND (digikey #) RESISTOR NETWORK 9RES 100K OHM 10PIN (you will have to cut off the last pin on this as the pcb only fits nine of the ten pins.)
- 1 x S1012E-36-ND (digikey #) CONN HEADER .100 SINGL STR 36POS
