8x8 DMX Led matrix

[Djreddevil]

I made a 8x8 dmx led matrix, i control it by using the freestyler suntrix plugin.
Tha movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzhZ6Iv_tuk

greetz, djreddevil

Worked for me mmax by the way very nice Djreddevil

Infact how do you make one of those?

Infact how do you make one of those?

You need a dmx multi exhanger, and than you connect one led to each channel (64 times )

The video is not available in germany so Ill use a proxy.

Because of the music, youtube says it's not available in germany.

You wanna do a silent version then too as this forum has a high concentration of germans

[Djreddevil]

i've did a 'audio change' on youtube.
now you should be able to see it

[Djreddevil]

no, i can't. have you used audioswap by yt?

yes, but youtube says 'there is a request for audioswap for this video'
so yt is busy

[djSupport]

Would you be so kind to make a step by step tutorial on how to build one of these for our other project http://www.thedmxwiki.com ?

[Djreddevil]

i can do that, but there's a much easier and cheaper way.
only one problem that's the way I still don't know. XD
But i'm busy to make it full color. But i didn't get response from the maker.
If I know howto, i'll post!

p.s. Audioswap is done, so everyone can watch it!

This is a neat way of doing this.. I tried to look up Multi Exchangers, but i cant find any in the US.

[Mattotone]

im also quite interested in this project. i can't afford a multi-exchanger £200. but i can afford another arduino mega £25.
52 outputs of which 14 can provide PWM. the outputs can v.easily be expanded 16 extra outputs for as little as 54p using a port expander.

store sequences in its eprom so can work without dmx.
it doesn't have to be dmx, stick an Ethernet module on it, or control via usb we could write external software (or have raph modify a version of ledtrix) so that we don't need to use any dmx channels.

heres a prototype iv seen on the net

EDIT:
The shift bright leds every one is using look awsome $4.99 each.
a standard arduino (less pins and programing memory,but cheaper) can control 120 of these at 25fps
arduinos can be linked together.

I have also found this Product
Its an 8 Channel DMX Relay Board.

Could get a few of these..

[Djreddevil]

i think the way Mattotone is the simplest way to do it. But I really don't know where to start that project
