GlobeSimulator3D Simulation of Rotating SphereThis is a side project for our Universal Matrix Controller Boards. To test these boards we build a 32x16 LED matrix with four controllers. The pitch of the LEDs is 3 cm and we used standard 5 mm diffuse RGB LEDs with common anode. Well, as you can see in the video below they perfectly do their job. But not only the boards are new also the diffusion with plexi glass (true led) is something we tried the first time. We adjusted the distance (LED - Plexi) such that you cannot distinguish an individual pixel if a plain color is displayed. Unfortunately, the quality of the video is not really great. The camera (we tried several) had a really hard job to do. In reality the matrix look quite impressive - once again: Eyecandy!
Update: We recently changed the frame of the matrix and gave it a mosaic-like appearance. See text, pics and clip in the bottom.
But that not all folks. We wrote some software to communicate with the controller boards from a computer. See one of our software projects - Glediator.
In a qick&dirty weekend project we just gave our true color matrix a new "face". We put a new wooden frame around the matrix and in between the LEDs and the plexi glass window we put some checker-board-like mosaic structure. It is just a small adjustment but a great effect! But see the following pics and the youtube clip and judge yourself.

I was just wondering can I use standard RGB strip with this setup? (http://www.samenkopen.net/action_product/919445/713090)
Just cut the anode power every led and solder a wire on to it.
It is rated at 12V.
I try to download Glediator software glediator_v1.1. 0.zip, but say that arhive is damaged.
Any help? Thanks.
Cheers!
was für eine Plexiglasplatte habt ihr genommen? und welchen Abstand habt ihr gewählt?
Grüße Helge
ca. 5-6 cm Abstand bei 30mm Pitch.
Great looking project.
Was wondering why you used an obsolete part(IRF7314QPB F) for this project?
Unable to find it except on ebay via China.
Can one use discreet MOSFET's or some equivilent?
Thank You
Victor
Ich experimentiere schon ne Weile mit Pappe und Holz, ist aber alles nicht das wahre...
THX!!!
Trittschalldämmung gibt es in jedem Baumarkt unglaublich günstig. Es gibt sie als Rollen und als PLATTEN. Und eben diese Platten (grün) sind 3 mm stark und lassen sich hervorragend mit Cutter-Messer und Schere bearbeiten!
Wir haben für eine Packung dieser Platten 18 EUR bezahlt und damit könnte man locker das Mosaik für 5-10 von unseren Matrizen (32x16) herstellen.
Ich hoffe das hilft!
Echt hammer :) Und danke, dass ihr das alles so "rausgibt" und auch GLEDIATOR frei anbietet :)
Bin gespannt was als nächtes kommt ;)
Thanks
