The BetaBrite understands a subset of the Alpha Sign Communications Protocol. So, armed with the protocol document and a functioning BetaBrite connection, I set out to write an easy to use. The Windows software works fine, but what I really wanted was a native. It's a lot easier to connect the BetaBrite to your PC through a RS-232 Serial to RJ-12 cable, then use the bundled Windows software to program the sign: The BetaBrite is fully programmable via the infrared remote, but keying in long messages on the remote is a giant pain. Sam's Club has the BetaBrite sign for a reasonable $160, and that includes the serial communication cable, handheld remote, and software.
The BetaBrite supports full text build status information in eight colors and 12 different font styles- including animations! It's way cool I have yet to see someone walk by my desk who isn't mesmerized by its hypnotic animation and colors.
This two foot LED display beats the heck out of those retro-kitsch novelty build status indicators. Great idea to use the displays as a Macquarie to display the game name during viewing game on the FE or displaying the game during the period the game is launched.In the spirit of Lava Lamp build monitoring and Automated Continuous Integration and the Ambient Orb, I purchased a BetaBrite one-line electronic LED sign. Keep up the good work, the project looks promising, especially with the Betabrite display. The LCD display joystick setup would change for each game.īTW Any recommendations on large LCD(s) with USB support (optional) and where to get them. if you have a 8 w joystick, and 10 buttons cabinet setup, and say the game only uses 4w and 2 buttons, is is possible just to display the 4W options of the joystick, and the 2 buttons on the lcd, with the option of showing the button labels of the action (ie. Can the your software operate the controller?Ĭurious - On a large LCD of type 240 x 128 or similar, is it possible to display the joystick controllers which are available to the game on game launch and/or when displaying the game on the FE? ie. I have a 240x128 lcd using a Toshiba T6963c controller.
I have a LCD of type I do not know if you support. I have to see if I can integrate LCD into my cabinet project. I just quickly glanced through some of the post.
