@awoo @MikaKpk I really want one of those displays

@theresnotime @MikaKpk could try to get you one to give to you during 39C3 perhaps :3

@MikaKpk @theresnotime especially the LED matrix display, sad that they won't sell the controller too tho

@awoo @theresnotime Something about the chip that holds the character data containing company data because it also contains custom symbols for the city I was told. The LED inside matrix displays don't seem popular, I wouldn't take on the challenge of getting one wired up with an arduino myself either but I could see myself figuring it out for the flipdot exterior displays one day

@awoo @MikaKpk !!?

@theresnotime @awoo Keep in mind that if you want to carry this to the UK: These things are much bigger in your hands than they look like mounted to the tram. You can _just about_ hand carry one but it will be awkward if you pass through any security checkpoint with it or attempt to put it into a train luggage rack.

@MikaKpk @theresnotime brb carrying a 190x25x30cm* dispaly around :3

*assumed measurements based on what I've seen myself irl

@awoo @theresnotime lets not compare the measurements of the thingies we are carrying around

jokes aside there is a lot of heavy metal in these displays too. Don't underestimate the weight.

@MikaKpk @theresnotime ...considering what you just said (and the fact that I carried a display for Nina around), uhh, this might probably be somewhere around 25kg? or is it more ​
