New phat pixels on the ILLUTRON barge

Our old stadium scoreboard 2-color LED boxes got an overhaul and we now upped the video scan rate to 240fps by splitting the source signal into 4 separate 4-bit data paths, streaming from an OF or Processing sketch through two Arduinos each with a 115kbps fully saturated serial link. Here are some of the first experiments with the new setup - we're trying out floyd steinberg dithering in 2 and 4 shade levels but still have some gamma issues to work out.

Got any good ideas? Drop by the old barge and come play with our new pixels
