- I found that refreshingly annoying sitting in first row during the compo.

- So, if you guys want to see what else can be done with this LED monster, join Underground Conference, where it will be used in a completely different and even more scary way.

- For me it does feel right. Wild compos should have more actual live wild projects instead of boring videos of something pretending being wild.
Trasidio might have won if they had shown their stuff live. - isokadded on the 2019-04-27 20:21:23

- moozooh: Yeah, it took very long, and we had hoped to be quicker. But we only had time to test-setup this once, and the orgas who helped had never done it before. With some training we could have cut down the setup time.
The whole idea was that the display itself is the wild entry, not the proof of concept demo running on it. Would we have set it up prior to the compo, it would have been pre-released, which would have killed the surprise and also would have been a violation of the compo rules.
On future demo parties this beast will be available for others to code on as a platform, which is pretty much what you are suggesting. - isokadded on the 2019-04-27 15:36:02

- Hi polynomial,
let me answer a couple of your questions:
- 5050SMD RGBWW with SK6812, so it's warm white
- We used 8x Meanwell HLG-600H-24A for AC->24V. This had been originally designed for using very long cables from the AC source to the display, which is why we went with 24V.
- For 24V->5V we used 24pcs 30A Waterproof DC 10-35V 12V 24V to 5V 150W DC Car LED Power Supply Voltage Converter Regulator Buck Module Wengao (off Aliexpress). Each 24V line was feeding three of these
- We wanted the AC/DC to be water-proof as everything else, the Meanwell converters appeared to be the best and cheapest choice
- The solar connectors are standard MC4. We just had to make sure we use good quality and specced for the 30A. We assembled them ourselves, ending up with soldering instead of crimping (the crimping tool arrived late)
- Each LED stripe is fed with power from both sides. In addition, from one side there is data. All of them end up at a custom PCB on each side. One side (in our setup the middle one) in addition to power had a SCSI connector and cable, going to our router. This way we could run 48 data lines over a single cable. The router had two SCSI connectors going to the FPGA PCB, which has a total of 96 data lines - isokadded on the 2019-04-27 15:33:57

- It wasn't made for a company - it's not a commercial project, and it is not going to be used in a commercial environment, only for scene events.
However, there is some truth to this:
Many of the people who have worked on this are employed at Nerdherrschaft, and we've used company resources. And as we don't have a clear separation between work/spare time nor fixed office hours there, one could even argue that this was done partly during "paid work time". As is the case with many scener-run companies, there is no black and white here.
But I want to be clear that this is not a commercial project, and that none of the motivation doing this production had or has the slightest intent of earning money on it, directly or indirectly. - isokadded on the 2019-04-23 18:40:00
