Build your own Mini-Jumbotron Workshop @ NYCResistor #BeagleBoneBlack @TXInstruments @BeagleBoardOrg

Trammell Hudson will be leading a workshop at NYCResistor featuring who to use the RGB LED Matrix "jumbotron" panels to create video display sculptures that run on a BeagleBone Black using the Octoscroller^ii greatcoat and LEDscape code:

A few months agone we introduced Octoscroller, NYC Resistor'south eight-sided RGB LED matrix display built with jumbtotron RGB LED matrix panels. The interface "cape" has been reworked twice and the LEDscape source lawmaking has been refined to handle various arrangements of panels, from rectangular displays to larger polygons to six-sided cubes and miniature pyramids. We've also updated the code to receive from OPC and other transmitter formats, in improver to local drawing into a user-space framebuffer.

The expert news is that nosotros finally have the supply of panels and command boards to offering a course on edifice your own mini-jumbotron or other shaped brandish! Included in the class fee are eight of the 32×16 RGB panels, a BeagleBone Black with the Octoscroller^2 cape (capable of driving upwards to 64 panels at 30-60Hz), a 10A ability supply and the wiring to put it together.

Y'all can impress or lasercut your own brackets based on how you desire to adjust your panels — OpenSCAD and STL files for the octagon, cube and flat brackets are in the source, and Misumi 15mm extrusion works great for larger structural pieces….

PID 420

Medium xvi×32 RGB LED matrix panel: "Bring a little bit of Times Square into your home with this 16 ten 32 RGB LED matrix panel. These panels are normally used to make video walls, hither in New York we see them on the sides of busses and bus stops, to brandish animations or curt video clips. We thought they looked actually cool so we picked upwardly a few boxes of them from a factory. They have 512 bright RGB LEDs arranged in a 16×32 grid on the front end. On the back in that location is a PCB with 2 IDC connectors (one input, one output: in theory you can concatenation these together) and 12 xvi-bit latches that allow you to bulldoze the display with a 1:8 scan rate."
