hello
this is my first post here!
i have begin doing ardunio stuff for a year or so, but only just found spark fun!
I am beginning to work on making myself a midi controller using an ardunio mega.
With my design at the moment i am looking at about 70 rgb leds , with 20 Rotary Encoder and 44 push button and 5 Motorized slide pot and 3 Circular LED Bargraphs ( I am going to use the break out board for the circular led)
and now i am thinking about the best multiplexing option for all of that,
so my question is can i simply buy
17 0f the
Analog/Digital MUX Breakout
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9056
and define different the pins in the code?
and is this the best option for multiplexing 284+ pins?
is there a cheaper/better mux?
thanks a lot
Ben
