Another benefit of the RamWall is getting your room to look like part of a borg space ship! I had the 30x27 grid done, but then I remembered about a project I did back in high school. I made a 8x11 character display that was big enough to handle nice fonts. So to make the board more usable, I changed it to a 30x33 grid. Then I decided that someone might only want one row of characters not 3, so I designed the board so that it could easily be cut into 3 pieces and reconfigured in any way desired. The circuit board ended up being 12x13.2. a 30x33 grid cost the same as 30x27, but it did take an extra 7,000 or so LEDs to fill in the new space. There are 990 LEDs per circuit board and 18 circuit boards in my display. I should be able to display a NICE terminal font on the display, 9 rows - 22 characters per row. Using a TINY font like those little store signs and I should be able to fit 14x36, which is barely big enough for lynx, wouldn't that be fun to see? Browse the web in green LEDs... Here is one of the 3 rows: http://media.diywelder.com/images4/0...l_v1_1_row.jpg Here are all 3 rows: http://media.diywelder.com/images4/0...ll_v1_full.jpg The new finished dimensions are: 72 inches wide 40 inches tall What do you think now? Too late to change my mind, the PCBs are ordered. |
