Background

In the beginning the world smelled mostly of Nutmeg, and mulled cider. At that time Robert Jordan had an idea to create a DIY LED sign that could easily be made by the home Blinky Enthusiast. He called it LEDTRIKS and he showed it to the masses, and they thought it was good. In time however the world grew tired of Nutmeg and craved the spiceness of Gingerbread and TimW entered the scene. He designed a small controller that could offload the repetative task of refreshing the LED panel from the PC. He called it TRICKS-C and he showed it to the masses, and they thought it was good. While sitting looking at his LED panel AndrewW (no relation to TimW) theorized that he should be able to build a controller compatible with TRICKS-C, without the need to learn a new micro, purchase new tools, or install a new tool-chain. Entitled the PIX-C this controller will duplicate the functionality of the TRICKS-C, but use only parts already used on a typical RENARD controller. Now if only the world would smell like Candy Canes.
