Warning: I am a complete newbie in Electrical engineering and only an expert in programming. Please dumb it down for me. I've only done a handful of tutorials with the micro-controller (no shift register/transistor experience).
I would like some opinions on my schematic in the link below. Note, that it is not done at all and I am looking for opinions on whether the 2 SiPo Shift registers/resistors/NPN transistors/LED setup makes sense to anyone?
The top shift register controls which columns of LEDs should be toggled on and the bottom shift register controls which rows should be on. The intersection of what the top and bottom shift registers say should be on will actually turn those specified LEDs on.
Please ignore power and micro-controller setup.
So the question would be, am I doing it right? Concerns?
