Description
What is it?
The Scrolling LED Sign kit V1.0 is a DIY kit that you solder together to connect an Arduino Nano to several (up to seven) addressable RGB LED strips, which need to be WS2812B or NeoPixel compatible. You need a provide the LED strips, an Arduino Nano and a regulated +5VDC power supply to complete the build. You also need to solder some 3-pin male header pins to your LEDs strips to connect with the sockets provided on the printed circuit board (PCB). You change you message by uploading a new sketch to the Arduino Nano (via a USB cable, not included) using the Arduino IDE software available from the Arduino website.
Why do it?
Once assembled, the Scrolling LED Sign V1.0 is an eye-catching display proclaiming in bright, bold colors any message you wish to see. It’s great for drawing attention to your booth, your classroom or wherever you need to broadcast your message. Provide information in hard-to-ignore style with the Scrolling LED Sign V1.0.
