32x32 RGB LED DISPLAY

[billynightmare]

what did you use to controll them, did you use shift registers? do you still have a sketch you could send me please?

[MaxXimumPain]

I had a few questions for you...

Would this be possible to slave to the propeller?

I am trying to make a 64x16 RGB array for a pinball machine, and I wanted to know how you got the system controlled - what types of ICs did you use (shift registers?) and about how were they laid out. I'm trying to figure out if it would be worth the time or if it would be easier just to find a really wide LCD.

[intheshitter]

That's awesome. Would be cool to fill out your entire wall with them.

Verynice

Nice work......

Can you increase the pixel resolution to 800 x 600, so you can have the full screen. Then you can move to the other side of the room and work with a wireless keyboard.

@STRIKEcorperation And if you have a 1080p (1920x1080) screen?

In that case, I wonder if you'd like to solder 2,073,600 LEDs. If you solder one LED a minute, that would take almost FOUR YEARS non-stop.

If you want, go ahead and spend a lot of your time on soldering 2 million LEDs. Then be afraid of the power consumption (about 6,000,000 W)

[STRIKEcorperation]

@fede142857 What I suggested would be 480000 LEDs and with about 5 people, that would take about 100 days. Though that would be enough to show 480p videos on youtube. Even a 320x240 would do fine. And it wouldn't take any more that one minute, and I rounded up on my answer. So anywhere between 50 days and 80ish.

how do you get the information from the desktop? can you help me?

[cloudbook1994]

how do you make something like this?

[freezoid123]

@cloudbook1994 magic!

[legokidnaruto]

is there any shematics for this??

[THEtechknight]

this was posted over a year ago and still nothing available. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[basicmicro]

@THEtechknight

Sorry about that. Haven't had time. Are you doing something with RGB leds?

[THEtechknight]

@basicmicro I was going to make something similar as you, but instead of seeing the desktop, I want to play video files through it, like AVIs, etc....

[basicmicro]

@THEtechknight

Are you going to make it into through hole leds ?

[THEtechknight]

@basicmicro Thats all up in the air right now, but probably. then again, it isnt necessary, i could use SMD as well. whatever is cheaper.

[eldermalagon]

@basicmicro

Hi I'm doing something similar. I just need to ask you how do you get the video signal from the computer?

[Pvsmuntje]

@eldermalagon You could create an interface in Visual Basic/Visual C# and use the serial port control to communicate with the arduino.

[daxweb]

i have problem with hardware project of a rgb screen. can you help me with your schematic pls?

[basicmicro]

@daxweb

Our schematics and configuration probably wouldn't help you. But what is your trouble?

[eldermalagon]

hey! how do you do that? I mean how do you display the pc's image on your monitor in the led display? what kind of controller do u use? what kind of led driver are you using?

[basicmicro]

@eldermalagon

Soon we will release the schmatics and a write up.

[eldermalagon]

@basicmicro Thanks, but I was wondering if you could just give me some guidance to get the VGA signal and "pass it" to the led screen, I mean, view the image in the LED matrix. What do you use? is a special IC to convert the VGA signal? or how do you pass the VGA signal to the matrix?

[basicmicro]

@eldermalagon

We will release all source code too. I will post a link soon as its ready. It was fairly simple but grabbing screen data was more complicated because all screen and video is off loaded to the video card. So its not easy to grab.

[msplace08]

Very nice! I'm also developing a display with RGB LEDs, like yours. See my channel.

[No1Daemon]

Have you got a link to a how to so I can build one too! nice display. Just what I am looking for.

[pyroesp]

That's WOOOOOW, really amazing !!

[samuelito312]

hola soy de bolivia q tendria q necesitar para realizar lo q tu isiste

[marianoaldogaston]

@samuelito312 si no te diste cuenta que todos hablan en ingles y se te ocurre preguntar en castellano. y pones "isiste" en lugar de hiciste. me parece que por mas ganas que le pongan y te lo expliquen estas lejisimos de poder realizar lo mismo. saludos desde argentina.

[0ElectroMad0]

....AMAZING...

[PatMan0183]

I got the feeling this was a high detail display. Since the camera was so close throughout the whole video, we were not able to really see what you had created. I would suggest starting the camera close to the display, then move back to get a FAR away shot. I think the camera would give you a better image if it was farther away. It is still very impressive, though.

[dakcosales]

it's very cool!

[PHaRTnONu]

how are you outputing the pixels via the usb? could you tell me if it would be posible to have like 20 outputs for 20 seperate streams?

[kcrissboy]

very nice. I appreciate your work ;)

[LehdaRi]

Lol cool one. Useful only in large computer events though.

[wellyb00t]

cool! how much did the display cost to make?

[drboose]

awesome - can't wait till leds come down in price

[SickweeD666]

awesome

[0redthunder0]

That is totally awesome XD

[Flea5000000000]

dude the scmatic wold be massive

[nogtname]

that is awesome you should put schematics ups

[entilete]

hah cool!
