Anyone have ideas for a better project name???

four pixel font: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_iSF92uXnHLo/TWvGiduVcVI/AAAAAAAAFZk/VTqfa3jm8RU/s800/node%20window%20font.PNG

==Hardware==

Rainbowduino x 3

http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/rainbowduino-led-driver-platform-atmega-328-p-371.html?cPath=163_169

Wire: about 110' per 16 x 4 section.

RGB LEDs (see below).

==Purchases==

http://cgi.ebay.com/100-pcs-5mm-RGB-LED-4000mcd-Common-Cathode-Free-R-/390294708451?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5adf60a0e3#ht_1756wt_907 - 100 RGB LEDs.

^^ these turned out to be wrong, since we needed common anode.

Marty purchased 100 common anode ones so now we have those.
