LEDTRIKs Controller Contstruction Manual

[wjohn]

Folks,

I have published the Version 0.3a of the LEDTRIKS manual. A number of errors have been corrected (thanks to Brian, Kiwi and RonP for your assistance).

Please feel free to read and provide constructive feedback to me.

Did you come up with a way to do that? I'm kinda thinking of something along those lines for 2009, and I wanted to see what others have done.

Cant find where each rj-45 jack goes on the board. In the manual, the controller board has an image but I can read the numbers. Can someone post a detailed diagram defining the jacks?

Nope, I found the answer in another picture, thanks anyway. Answer was hiding on my desktop. ;)

Start with the LEDTRICK sticky at the top of the Ledtricks foreum. There is a discussion of beginners. Also follow the WIKI for LEdtrick controller.

Basically, the Ledtricks is a display board that can display custom text and graphics, similar to commercial sign boards common to banks in the US.

Thank you very much.

fkostyun (Frank) has LED PCB panels (3 to make a full LEDTriks display) on his store (http://store.kostyun.com/product.php?id_product=31) as well.

Question about those LED PCBs? how many contollers would i need if i got that 3 pcs kit for $45.

[LabRat]

One LedTriks board. (required)

One "Triks" controller [Triks-C, or PIX-C] (optional)
These boards maintain a frame-buffer, and communicate over the serial port. Thus reducing the amount of time that your PC spends "refreshing" the display.

Another set of links to a 1x1 pixel Gif file. Could someone please restore these PDFs. The links to the PDFs do not show up in the quotation, BTW.

Thanks very much.

[Tom.Misty]

PDF links arent working for me either.

Thanks
