MAKE: Blog: New @ Maker store

New @ Maker store - Peggy is here!

Peggy LED boards are now available in our store!

Evil light-emitting pegboard display, affectionately known as "Peggy," provides a quick, easy, powerful and efficient way to drive a lot of LEDs - up to 625 in a big matrix covering almost a square foot of area. You can make an LED sign for your window, a geeky valentine for your sweetie, one bad-ass birthday card, or freak the holy bejesus out of Boston. Your call. It's a versatile, high-brightness display. How you configure it and what you do with it is up to you.

Add your own 3mm, 5 mm, or 10 mm LEDs + 3 'D' cells or an AC adapter. These really are beautiful boards - and that ATmega164P is just waiting to be customized - Link

Does peggy come with *any* LEDS???
The store information, including parts list, is a little ambiguous about this.

@Ryan- Peggy doesn't come with any LEDs, no. I found the BOM a little unclear as well. It's not a list of parts included, but of necessary and optional ones.
