LED Message Display


English | Português

The initial goal of this project was to design a simple LED display, with only one color and basic features. However, it was hard to stop after each version was completed, and so the project grew, becoming this display shown below. The electronics and the software were designed by myself at my home office.

The display's size is flexible. It can be assembled to various widths and heights, and also being able to work vertically, where it change its procedures and switch to the vertical fonts. Most of the display's features are better presented on the images and videos that follows.

About this video

This video shows the LED display control software connecting to the LED display, reading its messages, and then performing a few operations, mainly to show the basic functionality of the display. Notice the conditions; those blocks that wrap a few messages and say, for example: "Every Friday". The messages inside those blocks will only show when the condition is met. They add a lot of functionality to the display, as demonstrated by some examples in this video.

NOTE: I apologize for the length of the video. If you simply wish to get a quick preview, watch only the
first 5 minutes, or see the screen shots above, under "Pictures and Screen Shots".
