LED sign board design was never so easy, all thanks to low cost LED controller cards available easily through various vendors. Buy one here . This controller card is designed to work with single color P10 and similar display panels. It has 2 HUB12 interface ports and can control LED display size of up to 320×32 led pixels.

Designed using ATSAMD21G17 Microcontroller, it’s an U-Disk based controller card that means you just have to plug in an USB flash drive (aka Pen Drive) with appropriate file downloaded onto it and you can have fully functional LED sign board. It uses USB host peripheral of the SAMD21 MCU and stores the data onto the on board EEPROM for future usage.  It supports multiple languages, timer, clock and multiple animation effects all configurable through a software. Here I am trying to give a quick start tutorial to design your first P10 Panel based LED sign board.
