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. The Colorduino has no USB connector, just serial connections. That's why we need an USB-to-Serial adapter for connection to the computer.

How to mount the RGB matrix

Position the pin labeled with "1" of the RGB matrix on the connector labeled "BLUE", pin 1.

How to connect the FTDI232 Adapter

The connection schema is as follows:

FTDI232 Colorduino
RX TX
TX RX
DTR DTR
GND GND
VCC VDD (5V)

Arduino IDE

  • Select "Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimilia" as Board
  • Select Atmega 328 processor
  • Select correct serial port
