All LED’s in
Spent 20-30 minutes last night getting all the LED’s in place and soldered. Just need to get the diodes in and then we’re onto the shield. No pictures I’m afraid, I’ll get some tonight.
I also found some nice and simple sparkfun PCB testing techniques to check for shorts. Probably all very 101, but I’ll work out how to relay the information and get it up here in case anyone else at my level is wondering the same thing.
I had a quick look over the unsped shield, slotted in some of the headers, but many of the holes in the pcb seemed alien to me, so I need to do some research and see if anyone has a good how-to for which components go where.
Updates:
Entartetemuzak has an awesome flickr shot, with everything annotated – many thanks !!!
nice project with the brad’s shield
My project not uses this shield, but you could check it here:

I’m using RGB leds + monome protocol modified to manage RGB
Hey Julien, I’ve been tracking what you’ve been doing. Looks awesome. Way above what I’m aiming for.
I was looking at

I’m assuming this has agreat deal more connections due to the RGB nature of the setup?
I’ve pretty much been following the bricktable directions step by step. So I’m hoping that this graphic is my reference for the button pcb.
