Jumbotron LED wall parts

I’m working hard to get a box with all the parts you need to build the Jumbotron LED wall featured in MAKE volume 49 (January 2016). It’s a long process of back-and-forth because of translation challenges and the time delay between North America and China.

I’m also trying to set up drop shipping so that you get Marginally Clever quality guarantee without paying for double-shipping.

As soon as I have a working supplier I’ll list the LEDs in the store and update this post.

What is the LED wall?

It’s a 213cm * 120cm wall of 2306 full color LEDs. It can just about any video of any length, and you don’t have to be a programmer to make it work. While this wall is not the first of it’s kind, it is easier than ever before and completely Open Source. Great for an outdoor movie night or for starting to learn about programming, computer graphics, or video protocols.
