bbayjohn Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Newest thing would have to be P10 panels. Although I'm not sure how lor will handle them with large pixel counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arw01 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Boscoyo Studio coro items, ordering up the spooky eyes soon, have their snowflakes and stars. +1 on P10 panels have 11 or 12 of those myself to make a pair of matrixes, one 3 wide for the garage for mainly a tune too, and the other either 4x3 or 3x4, have not decided yet on that one, would like to get to 64 pixels high, but it may be too tall for it's spot. Eventually move that out wider too, but then we become a "tv" in the yard so trying to be careful how I use it, brightness etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Wireless pixels? No wires or tapes, just bulbs you stick em where you want em. Edited September 5, 2015 by Mr. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 the drawback is they need a good solar position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No, they also have a wireless power source. I think we've covered that in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbaker4 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No, they also have a wireless power source. I think we've covered that in this forum. Wireless (non-solar) Power Sources are only available to Platinum LOR members. Day Glow power sources are available to all others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl Lambert Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Connections are made on the back. One for power & a HUB75 connector for data. There is 2 - HUB connectors like an in & out so you can chain them together.They are controlled by a BeagleBone Black with a add on board for the HUB connectors.

BMurray Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Just curious, but what does something like this cost per panel? It looks like it would be a cool thing to have but not so big that it looks like one of those advertising freeway led panel signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Lambert Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The panels are around $11 each + power supply + Beaglebone Black $40 + octoscroller ( add on board for HUB connection ) $17 + some kind of encloser because these panels are nonwaterproof. Most that are making these are using a 2x4 frame routered with a slot for plexiglass. I know one guy who had a encloser custom made from a metalshop & had it powdercoated. I believe it cost him $700 just for the encloser!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehgilman Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The big question is : Is LOR going to be able to support that many pixels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
