So, this project was sidelined until I had to make another BatchPCB purchase.ย Thankfully it wasn’t too long until I had the opportunity to work on it again! The current setup is basically 4 of the original 4 RGB LED Controller boards and 12 of the updated DR1r3 boards. All 16 are wired in parallel and being controlled by my desktop machine. You can see an extended version of this RGB test sequence after the break and I’m also including the (uncommented, sorry!) Processing 1.1 code that I used to control the boards.
Here’s an extended cut of the video display (which is displaying an RGB Test Sequence).ย Note that the current maximum throughput is approximately 12-13 frames per second due to the RS-232 baud rate bottleneck, but I’m looking for ways to speed up the data transfer without requiring a faster oscillator.:
