some changes

At first we decided to use a RGB LED strip as application but we changed our minds, now we're going to make an 8x8 RGB LED matrix instead. We found a site were a 8x8 RGB LED matrix was used with an arduino uno board and we are going to that design as a base for our project. This RGB LED matrix design is the one we are going to base our circuit on.

We are have problems for the moment with finding a supplier in Europe who has a RGB LED matrix. It's surprisingly hard to find. We prefer to use the COM-00683 RGB LED matrix.

We are hoping to find an 8x8 RGB LED matrix and otherwise we will have to make it by ourselves with 64 separate RGB LED's. I also drew a schematic of the circuit we are going to use, you can see this here:
