thedistrict Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi, Does anyone use chained together led matrix panels for their Launchbox marquee? I have a pi hooked into a 3 panel led matrix set up, but getting anything to work on pi is a bit complicated. I was hoping there might be something off the shelf I can use? That allows the matrix to display marquee images. I looked into offshoring dev work and a custom solution would run around $500 (I don’t code otherwise I would try it myself). Would love to know if anyone has gotten this to work. I currently have 3, 32 pixel height and 62 pixel width led matrix panels chained together running off a raspberry pi 3b+ with an Adafruit pi led matrix hat. Honestly even just getting a logo or animated gif to run when powered up at this point would be a start. Would love to hear what others are doing. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated! -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Would probably be a question in a hardware based arcade cabinet forum, I personally f.ex. don’t owe one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedistrict Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 This is true. I did however manage to track down what I think may be a solution using Pixel Cade http://pixelcade.org/ with its integration with LED Blinky https://www.ledblinky.net/ledblinky.htm and Launch Box in case anyone lands on this post in the future. Still waiting on the hardware to confirm (I already have the matrix leds just waiting on the board). Will try to remember to update this with the results.
