As an example: 0x18 is one byte in hex. In bits it looks like this: 0001 1000, so first 4 digits is the 1, that last 4 is the 8. So that lights up the two LEDs in the middle. Cheers, Alex Hi saw0,

Thanks for pointing this out, now i also see that the wiring is different. I uncommented the part, It works flawlessly now. Thanks for this nice Blinky, my girlfriend loves it :) Just another question: I don't quite understand how to make own animations: 0x18, // ___XX___ 0x3C, // __XXXX__ 0x7E, // _XXXXXX_ 0xDB, // X_XXXX_X how can i translate the "0x##" part so i know which pixel i actually lights? Greets and thanks in advance! saw0 Hey Alex!

0×18, // ___XX___
0×3C, // __XXXX__
0×7E, // _XXXXXX_
0xDB, // X_XXXX_X

how can i translate the “0x##” part so i know which pixel i actually lights?

Greets and thanks in advance!

There is a code snippet (display_active_row) in the source that is commented out right now. Try to use that part. Cheers, Alex Hi saw0,

Any hints? Thanks saw0 Hello :)

Marcus did his Space Invader Button with it. http://interactive-matter.org/2009/04/space-invaders-button/ Maybe the battery life is a bit limitted. Cheers, Alex Chris,

You can try to cut things down by removing some messages and/or animations. Cheers, Alex Hi Nate,
