LEAP#302 Game of Life on the Boldport Club Matrix
This is a quick and dirty implementation of Conway’s Game of Life on the Boldport Matrix, mainly to learn a bit more about using the AS1130 LED driver. As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub

LEAP#301 DHT11 Sensor Basics
The DHT11 sensor is a very cheap and common sensor that provides readings of relative humidity (20-80% ±5%)
and temperature (0-50°C ±2°C). For a first test, I’m using a simple DHT11 library from the arduino playground.

LEAP#300 The Matrix LED Test
The
LRAS1130 Arduino library from @luckyresistor
is an easy way to get started with the BoldportClub Matrix and an Arduino.
I’m using a slightly modified version of the LedTest sketch from the library here.
LED test = all passing!

LEAP#299 The Boldport Club Matrix
The Matrix is an I²C-controlled 24x5 LED matrix display, powered by an AMS AS1130 LED driver.
It’s made of 0.2mm thick circuit board so it can slightly bend. A few can be chained together for a larger display.
With 120 0805 LEDs and an SSOP-28 AS1130, this kit is another great excuse to fire up the hot-air and
get a stencil from OSHStencils.
