You joined the forum just for that one sentence? ;)

Could be interesting, although I'm not 100% sure what for... but the datasheet is 4 empty pages...

Thanks tw3!

That's a nice resource site, even beyond the cool looking matrix.

I wonder if those bright LED lightbar things would do decent overhead lighting of these 2x40's? It looks like they light a numeric LED display in the picture, but I guess that thing's already lit up anyway. I'm looking into something like that, or maybe bright "side view" LED lighting.

I got the blanks too, but Acrobat 5 specified an error. I had to get the Chinese font pack from here:

I can see the PDF now. :)

Shame the PDF isn't clear enough in the diagrams to figure out how to program it. Not sure how you could use any of these in a MIDIBox though, aside from the MBSID mod matrix

Check out the manufacturer's site www.foryard.com .. Some nice looking toys there...

You can even reprogram the on board ATMega8 to monitor external sensors and switches!

wait .... there's an onboard microcontroller' date=' and it's reprogrammable?

* brain explodes

you realise what this means??  it's LED SENSOR TIME!!
