RE: @5.46 I have just spent a little while getting an old parrallax BS2 to do exactly that as a school project.

it worked quite well, but the text “hello world” was quite flickery, the poor thing just didn’t have the same speed as the AVR based arduino (admittedly, I dont know the set up of the code, but I was only able to scan one LED at a time – in the same fashion as pixels on a TV).

anyway, I’m defiantly going to have to get my hands on an arduino soon.
