HowTo: Next evolution 595 replacement  (Robert Jordan)



Step 1 : the plan

 
While working on my LedTriks controller I came to belive that the same driver could replace the two different chips on the 595 boards so in the intrest of creating a cheaper, easier and smaller replacement for the 595 for those without a lot of extra cash I design the "Grinch" after my favorite christmas show. Its cheap and small but its not high tech it doesn't dim and it uses no pic's. The attached picture shows the current design of the controller. the parts should cost about $6 not including the RJ45 connectors.
