Scrolling LED sign / marquee

**led555** · - 18th April 2006, 21:53

I have made a scrolling LED sign / marquee in PicBasic. If anyone is interested, I've posted ALL code (both PC and PIC side as well as Palm Pilot) and ALL schematics and other documentation at : http://uscinski.netfirms.com

I've also published it here :http://www.instructables.com/ex/i/CD...7001143E7E506/ ... with TONS of nice pictures!

Enjoy.

Sorry to ressurect a few month old thread, but does anyone have this information still? It seems neither of the posted links work. If you're still around, led555, would you be able to share this information again?

I'd like to build one of these as a project for my class, and this would surely help me iron out any questions I may have.

I'll be back and looking around this forum often, I'd say. Thanks everyone.

hello charudatt,
thank you so much for the info do you have the full schematics and source code for this.
Best regards,
Joann

Hello Joann,

No, Sorry, I just showed you the path to something new from LED555.

there are actually 8 zip files, here are the first 5... they are .rar files zipped up.... unzip all files, then unrar the first file... it will create an LEDsign folder with all the files in it.

**led555** · - 7th March 2007, 02:20

here's the last 3 of 8

**charudatt** · - 7th March 2007, 02:52

Thank you for sharing your work LED555. I had been looking for such a thing since a long time and specially in PBP.

Great.

regards

**bbarney** · - 7th March 2007, 12:34

I'am interesred in your previous led project all I could find were bit's and pieces but thank's for sharing this one

**led555** · - 7th March 2007, 13:47

bbarney,

which one are you talking about... this is the earliest one... 512 LEDs... the newer one I have is on instructables.com... using LED arrays and usb

**Joann** · - 7th March 2007, 13:50

Ledd555,
How are you ,i am happy atleast you show up,i am one of your fans who enjoy your good works in instructible i am jammy,.
happy to hear from you again.

**Joann** · - 7th March 2007, 13:55

Hello Led555,
when will you give us the full detail and schematics of the new ledsign.

**bbarney** · - 7th March 2007, 17:54

i was talking about the 512 leds the usb one is just super too

**led555** · - 7th March 2007, 19:44

here's a font creating program... you may need a Visual Basic runtime dll.

Jammy - i was/am really busy with school work... sorry for not replying.

**Joann** · - 8th March 2007, 11:55

Led555,
when will we have the full detail of the new usb ledsign available.

**charudatt** · - 8th March 2007, 19:26

Hey pal,

Looks like you are in a hurry man. Just chill.

I think he has already made it clear that he is busy with his School work.

Have faith he will join us soon, unless you want to .....................

**bbarney** · - 8th March 2007, 21:08

hope your not addressing me CAUSE I WAS ONLY ANSWERING HIS QUESTION

**Joann** · - 9th March 2007, 13:42

I have already chilled down my friend till he is less busy.

**charudatt** · - 9th March 2007, 16:58

So you read the lines clearly. Good and thanks.

Didn't mean to insult, but....... just could not resist.

regards

**Joann** · - 10th March 2007, 11:28

Gentle men lets put every anger aside and discuss about the moving sign we have done before or intend to do with each other so that we can be of good help to one another.

**knsteam** · - 11th June 2007, 14:44

Hello everybody
I use the program of Led555 everything works except the serial connection RS232.

When I send a message from visual BASIC, the PIC receives that zéros.

The configuration of the PC is good 19200bps, No Parity, 8 bits, and 1 stop bit.

What is that somebody can help me please

**led555** · - 12th June 2007, 04:10

knsteam,

i'm trying to understand... when you send a message to the PIC, it receives the message as zeros?

-peace

**magu** · - 12th June 2007, 13:49

i have downlodez the arhives and it seems a very good proj. I have Eagle 4.15 Proffesional and when i open the EAGLE_LEDSign_PCB_layout_071603 i have an error. "LOAD ERROR 293 on file....". What should i do? thx

Simple Google search got that result...
Ya know, you'd probably be better off buying a scrolling LED marque sign...

**led555** · - 13th June 2007, 03:39

magu,

yes, i was also running into problems with a newer version. the cracking issue might have played a role... but i also think there are backward compatibility issues. if you'd like i can post the version i've used to create this pcb. let me know.

**knsteam** · - 13th June 2007, 08:20

Dear Led555

getserial:

Serin SERIALIN,N9600,char
write i, char
if char = EOM then
'iTMP = i 'debug

CTS = 0
'goto readeeprom 'debug

Goto start
endif
i = i + 1
goto getserial

In this part of the program when I send the message by the application VB " LED.sign.control " the variable char contains that 0. I do not know can result.

Excuse me for my English (I am French)

Try reading the thread first...

burleanuvasile · - 14th March 2008, 08:36

Your Project is very good. I am in the same situation like Magu. I cannot open PCB file. I use Eagle 4.16 but I think that there is a compatibility problem. Please, send me the Eagle version used to make this file in order to solve the problem.
thanks!!!!!!
