Giant Scrolling LED Sign Powered by One Arduino Costs Around $15/Foot
Building off the previous work parallel bit-banging eight NeoPixel strips from one controller, this time around josh.com shows how to build a giant scrolling LED sign, for about $15/foot using similar materials. That’s pretty cost effective for the results:
Would you do with a massive full color animated LED display? How about…
