Cyberpunk Advertising Signs
So that happened quicker than I thought...
Wow. It’s only been a few hours since the last post, and here we are, with a working, scrolling, automatically updating miniature advertising hoarding for my 28mm cyberpunk skirmish game.
Yeah, sorry about the crappy music. It was only after I’d uploaded the video did I realise it had me and the wife talking over a film on TV (I think she was watching Wuthering Heights). No matter how horrible you think the music, is, honestly, it’s better than listening to our banal whitterings.
So – there we have it.
A little QVGA screen that I can connect to my own app and upload bitmaps to. I can change the delay between bitmaps, the number and order of the bitmaps, and whether or not the screen turns off between images (you can see this in the video – sometimes you can watch the bitmap being drawn across the screen, sometimes the screen goes off, it draws the bitmap in “darkness” and then switches on with the image complete and in place).
Now I just need to head over to the laser cutter and make some kind of enclosure to make it look like a billboard. Or maybe hack at the free gift this week and 3d print one?
