Updated LED Matrix Driver Board Firmware

Our workhorse PLT-1001v4 driver board has learned some new tricks! Now, with new software (version 3.02), it can do even more.

  • Displays text in many fonts and can effortlessly scroll text
  • Take TTL serial commands to draw circles, lines and rectangles 
  • Built up a frame with these commands for instant display
  • Supports multiple displays of the same type without having to change firmware
  • Change the text scrolling speed using the scrollspeed command  
  • Support for different types of LED matrix displays that have the EN enable pin either active high or low.
  • Make your text neat and fresh with textr and textc commands -- right justified and centered text
  • Control the brightness of your display!  

All you need to update the firmware is a USB to serial converter and the Windows Screamer bootloader program.

We hope you enjoy all this new functionality, and keep your ideas coming for new features.
