LEDs
The CapSense Matrix Solution board consists of 16 red LEDs above the 4 x 4 Matrix CapSense
touch buttons for user feedback. The 16 red LEDs are organized in a 4 x 4 matrix. Multiplexing is
used to reduce the number of pins needed to drive an LED. The 16 red LED is split into 4 rows and
4 columns which allow you drive it using 4 row outputs and 4 column outputs.
