Using a taped on coin for the RTC. Next steps are to solder on a coin battery holder (the battery will come loose sometimes) and get some preferably walnut colored wood for a casing. Havnt had much luck in finding wood though.
This is only on 10% brightness! I hadnt expected it to be so bright.
What is your power supply ? This matrix needs about 8-10A current for max bright
I was informed that it needs 4 amps for full brightness all white. I just use a 2 amp power supply and can reliably get around 50-70% brightness. I havnt tried higher though
I made a Walnut box for mine. Looks great.
Using a 2.5 amp wall wart no problems but my house is dark so I keep brightness low and my software doesn’t ever light all the pixels.
Very nice! Same here, brightness isnt a priority so I use 2 amps. Although the screen will be fully lit at times it doesn’t seem to be an issue up to 50-70% brightness.
What matrix are you using? I’ve got something similar and I’m having trouble with it.
I am using this one
IIRC its the 2.5mm pitch one.
The panels that look similar may have a different schematic.
