Thanks for the info, bperrybap. I think I'll stick with the 8x8 for the light setup, but I do plan on trying stuff from SuperBrightLEDs.

Also, the package arrived yesterday, but I haven't put it together yet. I need to look into the "trace cutting" thing...

Cool, I didn't know that about the Analog pins... Thanks!

I don't know the specs for those lights I'm planning on, but either way, it sounds like the 8x8 LED board should work... I just ordered one last night, so I'll be testing some stuff soon.
Also, weatherproofing the Arduino/8x8LED shouldn't be ...

I decided to make one of those music/lights synchronized Christmas displays, but I need a bit more information; I need more digital I/O pins than the most of the boards have. The Arduino Mega would have enough, but it has lots of analog I/O pins, too - thus adding cost for features I wouldn't use ...

First, there's a basic LED flashing program I wrote, with a video here.
Then , there's the security system I improved using the Duemilanove, and LED, and an LCD. The video for that one is here.

If anyone's interested, I can post the code or explain things bit more.


That's all for now!
