Pre-made LED light signs
« on: March 28, 2011, »
Anybody have any experience with this?  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  $26.99 - Red/Green LED panel - probably need 2 side by side
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  $13.99 - Red only LED panel - Probably need 2 of these also

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login $13.99 - Controller for the above

I had no idea these were so cheap.  Shipping is reasonable - $16.90 for 2 of the red panels with a controller.  - they sell Pic programmers on Ebay which is how I found them.

Anybody tried anything commercially made like this?

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login  this sign used the olded version of their board 64x32 5mm bi-color.  They use shift registers for the columns and 3x8 decoder (x4) for the rows.  We created a driver for the board using a propeller micro.  I have used the board for 3 years.  The board you listed is a newer version that uses driver chips that are easier to work with.  The older boards had tricky/strict timing for it to work properly.
