Issue w/B7971x4 Rev A board : There was an issue with some boards;
Some B7971s have 'smeared' nipples, consequently, the holes on my
boards will not fit all instances of B7971s. Thanks go out to Jeff
Thomas for pointing this out. I now have revised boards in stock and I
have reached out to everyone who purchased the boards from me and
offered free replacements.
B7971x8 Operation Guide : The manual for the B7971x4 is now available.
It describes the firmware which has shipped with all driver boards
which shipped with B7971x8 board sets.
Running out of driver boards: I only have a few driver boards left.
Once they are gone, there won't be any more for a couple of months. So
if you were on the fence about building a B7971x8 display, now'd be
the time to pick one up. Same story for the IN17x7 clock as it uses
the same board.
Cheers,
