Hi, I have only made up the PCB schematic. You can download that here:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Mini-8x8-LED-matrix-Christmas-display-with-built-i/

You will need to download diptrace (which is free) to view the file:

Brad if I remember correctly that file on instructables no longer works, or its unsupported dip file?

PS. do you have any of those pcb boards left?

It would have been drawn up with an older release of diptrace although it seems odd that diptrace would not support old file types.

As for the boards, I think I have about 100 of them left...

Ahh yes!, when you download the file it has a file extension of .tmp If you rename the file extension to .dip then the file opens has it should with Diptrace.

I had no idea the file extension had been changed... Maybe something to do with the instructables upload?

Ordering the kit for this project?
I want 3-5 kits if possible

Unfortunately I don't have any more of these kits. But I am working on a new version so I will keep you posted!

Do you have a parts list w/ part numbers so I can order to fit the PCboard as well as order more parts.
THANKS AGAIN

It should all be up on the instructables page

I scoured the instructable page and it has a bill of materials but no part numbers.
Without the part reference numbers I could just measure the board footprints but errors could creep in easily.

I'm sorry but I don't have part reference numbers.

But I can tell you that you don't want to put any resistors in there (the LED's aren't bright enough with them)

Here's the switches:

That's all the info I have though
