Greetings, I am doing some research on p5 matrix displays and am pleading if you could help me with some explanations concerning the wiring and the controller card. Please accept my appreciations in advance
Question: I am considering picking up a p5 led display used on taxi ads. But I’m not familiar with their maintenance and resolution. In your experience: would a 192 x 64 LED display resolution be decent enough to show custom created videos in decent quality? What would be the equivalent normal resolution be?
The resolution would also be 192x64. Resolution is just a pixel count. So the only things that matters is a ratio from there. In your case, the image would be ultra wide... so if you had a video that was made at 1080x720, you would want to crop half of the height off. I would also recommend actually scaling the video resolution down to exactly the 192x64. Believe it or not, it will look a little better, as the video file blending the pixels by shrinking it, looks better than the display essentially skipping pixels between the gaps. Also, it makes the file size much smaller, and will ne less likely to have any processing issues.
Why do you and Canispater Christmas (Jeff Lacey) have the same intro?

Mr Morgan, what did you use to secure the modules in the back?

What is the controller card you are using? Does it work with FPP? Thanks
You can use Beagle Bone Black with an Octoscrolla or a Raspberry Pi with a Colorlight card.
Both use FPP.
Dorks haha. But I laughed 😂
