# Volksboard 3 is wired the same as the Volksboard_2 except that columns are driven by
# a decoder chip whose input is the binary representation of the selected output.
# So the encoded column is produced on the output pins and the rows are read from the input pins.

# defines is a listed of symbols to be #defined in the generated header file
defines = ['DRIVECODEDCOLUMNS']

# Wire pin0 to A0 on the decoder chip
# Wire pin 1 to A1 on the decoder chip
# Wire pin 2 to A2 on the decoder chip
# control the on-board LED using ping 13
