[dorkbotdc-blabber] Arduino code for LED cube

[Mark N. Boszko]

Is there any chance we can get a copy of the printed instructions that  
were handed out at the meeting? I made it out with my parts, but  
without the instructions, and I'm a little unclear on how everything  
connects. I've got a lazy Saturday afternoon, so I thought I'd try and  
figure it out.

Looking at the code (and the kit contents), I'm assuming each anode  
column of LEDs connects to a resistor and then to one of the headers  
connected to digital pins 1-7 & 14 -15. The three cathode rings would  
then connect to the header connected to digital pins 16-18.

Is that pretty much it? Does anything else connect to the ground pin  
on the Arduino, or do 16-18 act as ground?

I think once I get it connected to the board, the code is pretty self  
explanatory (yay for commenting!) and I can play with it from there,  
but I could really use a yea/nay if I've got these connections right,  
if someone with the instructions has a moment to respond.

Thanks!

Cheers,
MB
