Free Project - 245 LED Display

[aurbo]

How hard would it be to expand this project into a 16rowx48column display?

(I happen to have a 16x48 matrix gathering dust)

Nothing is hard when you know what you're doing. But you wouldn't use this design for a big display like that. A step in the right direction would probably involve considering a module-based schema. This would allow any size display to be constructed, simply by connecting more modules together. Each module could be say: 16 x 24, occupied with its own microcontroller, leds and IO interface connecting to other modules. I think one of the biggest milestones for a project like this would be in the software.
