Up to 10 people can purchase a set of 16 RGB LEDs, and 3 TLC5940 chips,
from me, for 25 dollars. (it is more than the actual cost so I can
replenish my supply at the higher non-bulk cost)

If you are interested, please email me, or just paypal me 25 dollars and
sign up for the class.

You still need an arduino, breadboard, and jumpers to build the circuit.

Because I am a push over, I just ordered 10 breadboards and jumpers.

1 breadboard + jumper kit costs 20 dollars

so theoretically you can just pay 20 for the class, 25 for parts, 20 for
the breadboard/jumpers, and bring nothing but an arduino laptop and
programming cable and walk out with a working LED set up.

If you need to buy the breadboard/jumper kit please email and paypal
dr...@stonedcoder.org.

Hi Eric,

I signed up for the course on Sunday, and I paypal'ed you $25
for the RGB LED's and the TLC5940 chips.  I hope you still have
some left.  I will see on you Sunday.  Thanks for putting this
course together!

Take care,

If you can afford the freight mpja.com is selling 830 T/P solderless
breadboard item:4443 TE for $2.95 and jumper kits (90 pieces) for
$3.95 The guys have been reliable but standard UPS is $8.95+ and
usually takes a week to get here (Michigan). I just ordered 5 more
with seven other items, freight this time is $9.59

Yep, I bought 10 from them 2 day shipping earlier today, hence my
offer to sell breadboards / jumpers to people for the class.
