Sparkfun New Breakout PCB

[dasborro]

Hello,

I Just saw that Sparkfun has a new Breakout PCBs

Link to the PCB

Now with integrated footprints for Diodes, in my understanding because of the diodes

I can use them now with the din just have to add current sinking transistors to the led lines ?!?

No need to design my own pcb ? , Hopefully!

Thats the reason why i started this topic I want to be 100 % sure before ordering the pcbs and buttons.

Thank you in advance!

i used the previous model (green, no Rohs) to make a BLM 64. it works without transistors with my chinese leds and din/dout

you will have a lot of wires, so stay concentrates while building

Sorry for my Delay ... Berlin Club Marathon Weekend :rolleyes: .

Good to hear that it works ... i will now order the pcbs and the button pads and maybe some cables with different colors to support my concentration skills :ninja:

And thank you again for your answer I know it was a dumb newbie question ...but although I am studying that kind of stuff I still feel very unsecure and I thought its better to ask before spending my money on garbage.

the best is to watch the forum (sorry i cqn't find back topics) for getting the right LEDs. Anyway, you can still had the transistors after if they consum too much
