/*
  Row-Column Scanning an 8x8 LED matrix with X-Y input
 
 This example controls an 8x8 LED matrix using two analog inputs

 This example works for the Lumex  LDM-24488NI Matrix. See 
 http://sigma.octopart.com/140413/datasheet/Lumex-LDM-24488NI.pdf
 for the pin connections
 
 For other LED cathode column matrixes, you should only need to change 
 the pin numbers in the row[] and column[] arrays
 
 rows are the anodes
 cols are the cathodes
 ---------
 
 Pin numbers:
 Matrix:
 * Digital pins 2 through 13,
 * analog pins 2 through 5 used as digital 16 through 19
 Potentiometers:
 * center pins are attached to analog pins 0 and 1, respectively
 * side pins attached to +5V and ground, respectively.
 
 This example code is in the public domain.
