I've recently gotten obsessed with LED matrix panels. I bought one 64 x 32 panel from Lumex and I LOVE the fact that it uses a UART interface to draw graphics. However, it is not even close to big enough for me
I began looking at the options to control multiple panels and unfortunately, they all use either an ethernet interface and complex prefabbed software, WiFi, or a "U-Disk" (which is just a USB stick).
I want the panel to update constantly programmatically. I'm a decent programmer, so I want an RS232 serial/UART interface that I can program with a PC or arduino.
Maybe some of you might know of some controller hardware that would support this? If not, then I'm not fully against it being an ethernet connection to the controller as long as there is some open source library I can use to control the panels with my own software?
In other words, I want maximum flexibility and not "Chang SunnySky Better Hope LED show" software
