The Colorduino (http://iteastudio.com) is a RGB matrix driver platform with an Atmega 328P. You can connect those nice big 8x8 RGB led matrices to it (common anode). The Colorduino has no USB connector, just a serial connector. That's why we need an USB-to-Serial adapter like an FTDI232 board for a connection to the computer.

Position the pin labeled with "1" of the RGB matrix on the connector labeled "BLUE", pin 1.
The connection schema is as follows:
FTDI232 | Colorduino |
---|---|
RX | TX |
TX | RX |
DTR | DTR |
GND | GND |
VCC | VDD (5V) |
- Select "Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimilia" as Board
- Select Atmega 328 processor
- Select correct serial port
