<div>Glad to hear that what I am ordering would be good for this application, as it pretty much is what I am planning on planning on doing something clever with in the someone murky future...</div>

<div>Or they will look good on the ever growing pile of misc parts that is filling up my work area...<br><br></div>

<br></div>What Hans is talking about seems to be a shift register with a<br>programmable current limiter so that you wouldn't need to have a bunch<br>of resistors between the outputs, and LED's.<br><br>I was thinking more along the lines of an 8 bit parallel latch,<br>
buffer, register thingamajig. Just needs to up the current on each<br>pin. I have but one SPI interface, and then I have around 30 other<br>unused pins if I am going with the shift register route. I guess that<br>is okay, but it isn't the solution I was looking for.<br>
