LED screen tiles donated by Mistamud (due to issue with a bad batch of red LED wafers). See mailing list thread here.

What is it

  • Frame containing 6 LED tiles
  • Controller/PSU "Infiled"
  • 46 individual LED tiles

What are we doing with it?

The space is likely to keep the frame and PSU, and maybe a few extra screens depending on final decision.

LED Specs

The 'tile' contains the matrix of SMDs and the driver ICs and multiplexing to run but you'll need 5v dc and some kind of Pi / Arduino / Nova or Linsn Scancard to control them.

Building a LED wall

On this Mistamud says: You'll need a card called a Scancard. (the brains found inside each and every LED panel): http://www.led-card.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=314

The signal that goes into the Scancard on Cat5 cable needs to come from a Sender Card: http://www.led-card.com/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=15. The signal that goes into a Sender card is good ol' DVI from your laptop.
