Starting the project

Since I have already made some real progress on this project, I will be making posts for each step. The first step I took was learning everything I could about this wall. I found two webpages that explain in very little detail how the board works.

It turns out the current microcontroller is a Parallax SX28. The microcontroller is hooked up to a pair of MAX6979 LED Controllers and a 74LS138 1:8 Demux. Bert J.W. Reeger's site explains this.





The current program on it is Conway's Game of Life. The souce code can be found on Sean Hillmeyer's site.
