A project log for Deghosting multiplexed LEDs

LEDs also act as tiny capacitors and this can be a source of them lighting up when you don't want them to

John suggested an alternate solution that requires no changes to the software and no extra MCU pinL Precharge the LEDs by just connecting a fairly large-valued resistor from Vcc to the common line. I tried it out with a couple of 20k resistors and it works! Awesome!
