I did a test assembly. The potentiometer is not the right kind (wrong package and wrong resistance range), but it works ;-) It can easily be used with the arduino ' shiftPWM ' library. Up to 100mA per channel if you keep an eye on the chip temperature.

I have a couple of these chips, both in SMD and DIP. Quite often I shy away from playing with them due to the 'hassle' of setting them up. Maybe this will help a bit. The boards are just 32x32mm

Minimal effort to get started with the Macroblock MBI5030 PWM LED driver. Comes with onboard LEDs, but can still drive external ones. All pins broken out. Only needs a microcontroller and a high-frequency grayscale clock. An AVR running at 16MHz can use its CLOCK-OUT pin for the latter. The chips 'speaks' an SPI-like protocol. Unfortunately some information is encoded in the timing of the LE input, so one cannot use fast hardware SPI for the hole transfer. The special sequences must be bit-banged. Nevertheless it is a rather affordable chip and does mostly what it should. There is an issue with the datasheet(s) that can be found on the web. The older ones document functions that definitely are not implemented in the current silicon.
