Abstract

The aim for this project is to build a message board using dot matrix display. The message board consists of four major subsections. These sections include a computer program, a communications system, a microcontroller, and the LED display. The computer program takes text entered by the user, converts the text to the proper data format, and loads the message onto the board. The communications system handles data flowing from the computer to the message board. The message board is connected to the computer using RS232 cable.Data coming in from the computer is handled by the microcontroller, which stored the data in memory. The microcontroller is also responsible for reading instructions and messages from memory then displaying the messages according to the instructions. The LED display is operated by a set of constant current display drivers. These display drivers light the LED's based on data received from the microcontroller.
