Using peripheral interface controllers to design a programmable virtual display of Leds

This paper presents an innovative use of peripheral interface controllers in the design of a concrete project. The design features of these microcontrollers are investigated, followed by an in depth analysis of the language used to program these microcontrollers. Communications standards and protocols used in the design of the project are also analyzed for completeness. The design details of a programmable array of LEDs are investigated, and the feasibility of such a design is analyzed. A proof of concept model is designed as a prototype to demonstrate the feasibility and functionality of such a project.
