The LED Wall consists of four main components connected in the following manner.
Computer → Sender Card → Receiver Card → LED Panel
DO YOU NEED THE PASSWORD FOR THE PARA SETTINGS?
READ THIS FIRST!!!!
YOU CAN DESTROY THIS DEVICE WITH THE WRONG SETTINGS
THIS IS NOT A JOKE
Rule 1. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PROGRAM ESPECIALLY SCREEN OPTIONS AND RECIEVER CARD AREAS
hitting apply will overwrite the current settings
which we do not have a backup for THEY ARE UNRECOVERABLE.
I spent over a month trying to recreate them using a spare reciever card
It did not work, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIGURE IT OUT WITHOUT FIRST TALKING TO @dbynoe, there is no recovery possible, YOU WILL DESTROY THE DISPLAY, no take backsies. I spent a lot of time to build this, a ton of hours figuring out how to make it work, and a bunch of hours, donated a decent chunk of cash to buy the sender card. DONT FUCK IT UP. thank you.
Rule 6. Limit brightness to below 20%, 100% will draw up to 30amps.
Rule 8: note that that you have been made aware of a very limited subset of the potential hazards contact @dbynoe on talk/slack if you really want to play with this.
Rule 10: the password is the numbers of the above rules in order, only change settings under screen display (brightness, but keep it under 20%) or output area of image
