Mini LED V10 may load animated GIFs onto (some) newer badges #14

Hey @Effix .

I was just looking at other seller listings for LED badges (successors to the b1248), and came upon a download link for a program called Mini LED Display HID V10. It appears to allow a user to send 1-bit animated .GIFs to LED badges. Unfortunately, my badges don't appear to be compatible.

Here's a download link for it, in case you'd like to take a look:

Interesting. It definitely won't be a compatible with this firmware, though.

Thanks @Effix , I realise that the MiniLED V10 software for Windows won't be compatible with your firmware.

I'm currently coming at my problem (the question of how to display full frame animation art on an LED badge) from two different directions:

  1. Track down some older hardware to use your novel firmware and software with, and
  2. Try and find the best combination of current hardware and software that's commercially available and capable of realising full frame animation at useful frame rates.

Right on
