Each display has an array of 16x3 and 20x2 boards, each board contains an array of 10 x (4x8) RGY LED blocks
Boards are serially linked to each other in each row
Each row is connected to the board using a 10 bit ribbon
The ribbons are connected from the main board to a OCT buffer (HCT244) and a shift register
After some poking around, i found the following lines -
RCK (Pin 10) | Green Bit |
Row ID (3) | SRCK |
Row ID (1) | Row ID (2) |
SRCK | 5v+ |
Red Bit | GND (Pin 1) |
RCK - Shift Register RCK
Green Bit - Shift HIGH to light up Green pixel
Row ID (1-3) - a 3 bit number for the following rows - (ID 1,2,3)
Row 1 - 000 | Row 2 - 001 |
Row 3 - 010 | Row 4 - 011 |
Row 5 - 100 | Row 6 - 101 |
Row 7 - 110 | Row 8 - 111 |
SRCK - Shift Register SRCK
5v+ - positivie
