32x32 RGB LED DISPLAY

The first prototype RGB LED display containing 3000 LEDs (1000 Tri color). It is being driven by an AtomPro40 (Renesas 3687). It is capable of 50 frames per second and a refresh of 140hz.. The prototype in the picture is displaying 24fps and 75hz with 24bit color. All writen in AtomPro BASIC. Check it out at http://www.basicmicro.com

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....

@THEtechknight

Are you going to make it into through hole leds ?

[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?

[billynightmare]

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

@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.

@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)

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

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

@basicmicro

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