Wanted: Information on “Moving Message” sign . . .
Greetings all,
I just got this sign. It is a matrix of red LEDs and is used for advertising purposes. Right now it displays a message from the last user. But I would like to control the sign with my computer – sort of as a play peripheral. When I plug it in (small 9-volt AC power pack) it starts working, so I know it works. It has the name: “Moving Message” (I believe this is the name of the manufacturer.) It has a place for a model number, but none is present. I looked around the web, and have found some similar units. This one is not color, it is red LED only. It has a DB-9 connector marked “keyboard”. But when I got it, it came with no keyboard. (bummer) Okay, so what I would like to do, is interface the DB-9 to my PC and make it work. Does anyone know anything about this sign? Can I get a copy of the software or user manual? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all, - Stan Shankman K7SJB |
