So I took this rad Arduino workshop at The Good Mod, and now I'm adding my favorite sketch from that session.
Using Adafruit's 8x8 LED Matrix, I created a space invader. And then I was like "what would be cooler than a space invader? A space invader that winks." But then I was like "you know what would be even cooler? Is if it only winked on button push." So I made that.
And here's the code.
To run, it depends on their library.
I'll post the wiring schematic sometime. Soon, hopefully, but I'll probably forget and not do it soon.
