For a larger tree, you&#8217;d have to do a much more ambitious build and cascade Max chips, but it seems to be time-consuming than anything else. Being the geek that he is, Brian also got the thing talking to his mobile phone over Bluetooth, which he promises more info on soon. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digg.com\/submit\" target=\"new\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/img\/badges\/91x17-digg-button-alt.gif\" width=\"91\" height=\"17\" alt=\"Digg!\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Make: Books co-conspirator Brian Jepson has posted a quick n&#8217; dirty way of building a 64-node LED matrix (green and red, natch) of holiday lights, driven by a Max 7219 chip and controlled by an Arduino cloneboard.
