Hey folks, I just got my Kickstarter up and running for a couple different types of the matrices I have been showing in this thread. Any help on getting the word out is appreciated. Additionally, if anybody is interested in jumping in on the final order for leds just let me know. I have about...

Okay high resolution modules spotted - http://www.hackerspaceshop.com/ledstrips/ws2812-hires-module.html They even have a cool Teensy 2.0 breakout controller - http://www.hackerspaceshop.com/ledstrips/teensy2ledcontroller.html

Hunter, cool board! A breakout board like this is next on my list. Good call on switching to the 10AWG. Got any pics of your led display?

These are boards that I have designed and have had fabbed. I buy the WS2812s in 1000 led reels and assemble the boards with my pick and place machine. The testing is during the functional check I do after the boards have been assembled. Woz, I had a simlar problem. The difference in color is...

When testing out new boards I have noticed that some of the leds are just wonky. Usually I have to replace 1-2 for every 256 leds. That or you may want to touch up each of the led solder pads. A cold joint could definitely cause this problem. --------------------------- The power supply I...

This looks like a power supply issue. Seems like it's overcurrenting the power supply to me. Have tried swapping power supplies? Almost seems like there is a point where the leds may all turn on and then overwhelm the power supply. May adding some big storage caps would help/prevent a...

Up and Running I was able to get my pick and place up and running and was able to assemble some of my 8x8 matrices in a 8x64 configuration. I am currently running an mBed and the Plasma Pattern in Paul's OctoWS2811 library. I am awaiting a breakout board for the Teensy and expect this to be...

Paul, I recevied my teensies (2) and was getting started on coding some stuff up. I was trying to understand the memory setup and was trying to figure out 2 things: 1. Why is the displayMemory an int array (2 bytes) versus a byte array (1 byte)? 2. Why is the ledsPerStrip Multiplied by 6...

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know my 16x16 rgb matrix pcbs are in! I have a little over 12000 WS2812s on reels waiting to be placed. I am combining these with some nice 300W = 60A x 5V power supplies and deans connectors to gang everything together. My order for a few Teensy 3.0s is...

Wozzy, nice trick using Adobe. I hard coded this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSL2bRITrd8 in just a single color and was gonna lose my my mind if I was gonna do 3 colors on a uProcessor! Thanks for sharing!

Wozzy, how did you generate the fonts in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBIOLT8ym8A

I just saw your writeup via Hackaday. Great stuff. I am actually working on some custom 8x8, 16x16, and 24x24 pcb boards. All the matrices will have 12.5 mm spacing in x-y direction. I have been wanting to put together a 128x64 led matrix (5’x2.5’) in size for awhile now. Power managment is...
