I just cant pass this up. I placed the order day. It should arrived in 3 weeks total. I'll be research the arduino site/forum on how to set it up,ect.
;D ;DYES! Package with nano & led button is here. I ordered a matching pcb but its in a separate shipment. I may drop into radio shack by monday.
So next I'm going to install Arduino OS & ides. Let me catch my breath and calm down a bit.
Does anyone one know how the wiring is to be connected to the 2 devices. From looking at videos I see a Pcb isnt necessary. By the videos it appears to be a simple 4 wire connection.

Then an install of the arduino bootloader. I not sure about the display tm1638 library, but is necessary that would be next.
Lastly would be the krp code.
Theoretically this could be build in under a day.
I have all the above mentioned docs and libraries set to go, I just need to figure out wiring.
Thanks.
I havent got the nano board itself recognized by my pc. Thats one stumbling block. But maybe someone can make a few more steps than myself. Good luck!
Here is the wiring diagram. According to the author the STRB1 is incorrect make it STRB0.
Thats it for the wire up. I recommend you connect the Nano board to your PC and get it recognized, sorted, & tested before wiring it to the LED. This isolates things in case troubleshooting is necessary. ::)!
Then its on to libraries. Talk to you soon.
Round 2. I cooked the nano board so I had to re order. Order arrived last night. I'm taking it easy this time. I set up the nano board alone. I ran the simple blink test and it passed.
Here are pics of the progression. I will be reading and watching youtube for a bit before I go any further. Will keep you updated.
