After 2 and a half hours of streaming, this is what I got!
A pretty decent RGB matrix, but no controller
Reference of how each switch/LED is laid out.
Pretty much, the switch and the Red, Blue, and Green anodes are all on a row, while they all share a common ground. So I need something capable of sinking the current along each row (6 LEDs?) at any given time, which properly maintained shouldn't be more than 100mA, no?
Also, I need some sort of chip, I was thinking of using the same chip in the Teensy++ (AT90USB1286) since I already have schematics for how to lay it out on a board, and it has enough I/O to handle the entire matrix (42 pins)

Soooooo. Things I need. Something that can source 100mA x 18 (one for each column?), and a go-ahead for the controller.
Guys, lets make the GHTK-RGB together <3
