Re: [Siglinux] scrolling LED

[Weston Sewell]

IEEE-CS used to have one of these connected to one of its Linux 
machines that scrolled messages across the inside of the entrance to 
ENS.  I think their office has moved since I graduated, but they still 
have info about it on their website:

But it looks a bit out of date.  Hope this helps.

Ok,

        I need (yes, really) a scrolling message board, like the
ones that grace grade school cafeteria's accross the land.
I need one so I can scroll real-time messages to, i.e. I cannot 
connect to
it, write a message, then walk away. I envision some sort of serial
port/lpt/usb type connection. Wireless would be ideal.

These are pretty simple devices, so writting a controller would 
probably
easy, assuming it does use some sort of serial/usb connection. So, 
linux
support is probably not explicitly needed.

Anywho, google had a bunch of hits, but I just wanted to know if any 
one
knew of anything before I go wading through the madness.

namaste,
Mark
