Over the past couple months I have been selling Prop Blades and LED Painters via Brilldea's web site.· Several users have e-mailed to me their code that they have created, updated or modified based on the core examples provided.· I thought I would go ahead and post their·code·here for others to use.
First, I posted a couple demos and driver updates to the Object Exchange.· Nothing really ground breaking here though.· I created an LED Painter Driver, but it is still partial SPIN and partial ASM.· It is mostly a revision of the TLC5940 driver but setup better for the LED Painter.· You can check the driver out here:· http://obex.parallax.com/objects/377/
Back in July Tim Moore provided a driver that combines the GSCLK and TLC5940 into one COG.· The code was also written in ASM.· He was trying to implement the error feedback as well.· Since this code is from several months ago, he may have improved it by now.· I will drop him an e-mail to see if he has any updates but for now I attached what he provided.
Recently Stephen Moraco, KZ0Q did some updates to the Prop Blade Demo.· His code is attached.· Spehen also rewrote the TLC5940 driver into ASM and added some push button tests in the demo program.

In other news:
- In the next month or so a slight revision will be done on the Prop Blade PCB making the silk screen better and as well as nudging around the part footprints.
- I will be releasing in a week or two a new Living Room LED system video with a new music and light show.· I will release it on the Brilldea YouTube page:· http://www.youtube.com/user/Brilldea
- The RGB LED Ribbon is on sale, so if you are thinking about building an LED control system for your Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas display now is a good time to pick up the materials.· http://www.brilldea.com/product_RGBRibbon.html
