Introduction
Found this lichtkrant on the revspace free stuff table.
Hardware
It consists of a processor board and a LED board.
Processor board
The processor board has a 8052, a flash chip, battery, 32768 Hz crystal, 40 MHz crystal, Altera Max chip. It appears the Altera chip drives two 245 chips which in turn drive the signal to the connector between the two boards.
It takes 5V as input.
Connector pinout J1
- 1: pin A8 of IC6 (245)
- 2: GND?
- 3: pin A1
- 4: GND
- 5: pin A2
- 6:
- 7: pin A3
- 8:
- 9: pin A4
- 10:
- 11: pin A5
- 12:
- 13: pin A6
- 14:
- 15: pin A7
- 16:
- 17: pin A8
- 18:
- 19: 5V
- 20: 5V
So it basically looks like a 9 bit bus. Levels on the bus are 5V (so can we drive it with an ESP?)
LED board
The LED board contains the actual display blocks.
It has a text on it: HXBI80070509.PCN, date 2007-12-28
It consists of 16 blocks of 5x7 LEDs. Each LED has a red sub-pixel and a green sub-pixel.
The are already electronics on it, consisting mostly of 595 chips (serial shift registers).
