Re: USB scrolling LED signs

[Tim Hawes <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank's done this:

And while ISTR there were some other photos, I can't seem to find them
at the moment (it could of course have been someone else's photos....
It's a serial-controlled VFD attached to a Lantronics MSS-100
serial-over-IP box. A bit smaller than the large LED signs but
infinitely customisable.

HTH,

Tim.
