    First tutorial posted. It covers the basic wiring of the LED board on a breadboard.

    nice one man - I had a quick go at wiring it up last night and didn't have much luck getting your code working. Think it was more to do with my wiring, rather than your code! (I soldered headers to the board but I'm pretty bad at soldering so there may have been a bad connection somewhere). I also accidentally soldered the header onto the top of the PCB (instead of underneath) which was pretty stupid...

    How do you load your library files into the Arduino IDE? do you even need to?

    I'll post a video tutorial about that tomorrow, for now take a look at the install instructions: http://code.google.com/p/ledrings/wiki/Installation

    Gotta get to bed (and install screen cap software).. Take a look at the wiring tutorial I posted, it should sort out any wiring issues..

    What arduino board do you have by chance?

    Nice!
    cant wait to see the first DIY projects with these things in them. It's a big step towards the commercial stuff.
