I`ve downloaded a number of letter codes designed for LED matrix displays and started playing with each to see which one look best. ended up going with an array of 250 standard 6x8 characters. each character is an array of 8 integers - each integer represent a row of pixels and each bit represent a pixel.

Example - "A" : (112,136,136,136,248,136,136,0)

112 = -ooo---

136 = o---o---

136 = o---o---

136 = o---o---

248 = ooooo---

136 = o---o---

136 = o---o---

0 = --------

After wiring up the letter codes, i managed to get my first TEST going :
