Hi first time posting and first major raspberry pi project. Looking for some good info on maybe what someone has tested on or used in the passed? Out line of my project is to make a voltage meter range 0 to 10 volts. With a display, LEDs (1led = 1 volt, 32 led = 10 volts) and and sound that varies as voltage increase. So I can see and hear the voltage increase from a distance. Two leads for voltage input.

I have a couple 8x16 1.2" LED blocks from Adafruit: http://www.adafruit.com/products/2037

The I2C controller chip makes hooking up and controlling all those LEDs much easier.  I'll post the short video I've got of two of those running through a test sequence in a minute.  Python code to run them is around online.  Someone has even already gotten letters/numbers in python code you could use.
