Walt's LED Sign Page
Welcome to Walt's LED Sign page.
Originally this page was devoted to my experiments with the
Pro-Lite TruColor II sign, however
there has been an increasing demand for information for different
signs and vendors.
Unfortunately, I can only pass along what I've learned about
signs I own, information I've found, information sent to me,
or information the vendor or manufacture provides.
Signs
IMPORTANT: Some vendors have made their protocols
available, however, this does not mean that they
offer free support! DO NOT CALL a vendor for support
unless you have purchased a support plan from them: this was the major reason
AMS was slow to release their protocol to the public. Your adherence to this
policy will help further Open Protocols; should you need assistance, look to
these pages for assistance from your peers.
Vendors
- Pro-Lite maker of the
PL-2014R.
- TallyDisplay, custom
signs.
- TOP Group -
Chinese LED manufacturer based in Chengdu, China producing
signs ranging from simple scrolling signs up to large tri-color
and full color indoor and outdoor LED Displays. They have
a software and hardware design team and make all of their
own control equipment.
This goes well beyond the realm of scrolling LED signs into
huge television like quality.
- DigitalBadges -
This is a cool idea: wearable badges. I'm still learning
more about these, perhaps enough to warrant its own section.
Distributors
Be sure to mention to the distributor you saw them on Walt's LED Page. Some have agreed
to pass along discounts to site vistors, and the extra exposure helps keep protocol information flowing.
