The idea for this project was accidentally born in a random conversation about an independently shared DIY dream. 20 years ago, we were dreaming about building a large video LED screen. At that time it was a difficult undertaking and out of reach to the vast majority of DIY makers.
While red and green LEDs were relatively reasonably priced, the blue LEDs were extremely expensive and locally available for roughly $6/pc. It means that the only LED material bill for a relatively small 100 x 50 (H x V) display was around $40,000!
And all of that didn’t even include the LED driver chips, power supply, video engine, etc.
As LED technology has advanced, they have been accepted and incorporated into a wide range of applications. The rise of low-cost and reliable single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, combined with our advance knowledge of FPGA technologies, have enabled us to create this project. Today we are able to produce LED screens that costs more than 100 times less!
The Pixblasters project has been successfully crowdfunded at Crowd Supply! The Pixblasters MS1 LED controller boardand the Array-SL are both in stock and available to order.
