Signature Electronic Sign to Arduino Part 3

Several people have asked for more information on the Arduino to Cadaces/Signature Electronics Sign interface. So I am posting a third time on the interface.

This is the schematic for a single line interface. It can run three cadaces modules, perhaps four. If you get garbage in your display, use shorter ribbon cables.This schematic is from the top side looking down at the adapter board.

This is a picture of the bottom of the interface board.

Here is a front view showing the adapter plugged into the left side of the Arduino.

This is a top view of the adapter board.

Here is the code for running two cadaces modules:

//  Date    : 4 January, 2013                         //

// Pins for the row drivers
int row1Pin = 1;
int row2Pin = 2;
int row3Pin = 3;
int rowEnable = 4;

// Pins for column shift registers
int rclockPin = 5;
int clockPin = 6;
int dataPin = 7;

// Set the pins to output to the sign
void setup() {
  pinMode(row1Pin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(row2Pin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(row3Pin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(rowEnable, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(rclockPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(clockPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(dataPin, OUTPUT);
}
