Introduction

This project is about reverse engineering a former public transport LED display. It consists of Z panels of each X*Y LEDs. Each panel has 16 amber LEDs vertically.

The plan is to make the display fully addressable as a bitmap display over a network connection, preferably with individually controllable brightness.

Hardware

14-pin header + chips

This thing consists of two main parts:

  • a control board
  • a LED board

Between them is a 14-pin connector, probably carrying the low-level LED control signals.
