LED Roller Derby Scoreboard
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
A do-it-yourself LED Roller Derby scoreboard.
|
|
It's visible in full sunlight,
|
|
doesn't use a computer at all,
|
|
and can be easily operated by an 8-year-old.
|
|
|
|
If you're looking for a software scoreboard (using a projector)
|
|
this [list of free derby scoreboard software](http://woozle.org/scoreboard/others.html) will help.
|
|
|
|
This scoreboard is operated with a Nintendo controller,
|
|
and runs on an XBox 360 power supply.
|
|
The rest of the parts need to be ordered from various sources online.
|
|
The total should come out to around $200,
|
|
with plenty of options for upgrades.
|
|
|
|
It will take about 6 weeks of work,
|
|
and requires basic electronics understanding and
|
|
elementary soldering skills.
|
|
I provide updated firmware,
|
|
so unless you feel like modifying the MIT-licensed source code,
|
|
you don't need to do any programming.
