Hi,

just wanted to say thanks for sharing your board. I needed to do some similar work. And your designed help me a lot to design my version...

Not finished yet, but I think I will be over until end of the month.

I'm glad the design could help you :) Your Firefly is looking great! Also the blender rendering is gorgeous!

I've noticed that ADM2687EBRIZ is hard to get hold of, so I'm thinking of switching to another more common IC. I've created a issue regarding this here https://github.com/TimGremalm/LightBoxNano/issues/10

Tnx, and tnx again for providing me good starting point!

As I will soon need more then 50 boards - so for this batch I will switched to ADM2682EBRIZ that is more expansive, but should be the same.

My software is now up - still need to work on documentation

It is bit customized protocol - as I needed a way to address all LEDs on 40 panels individually with adding them to groups and control those groups.

I managed to produce 40 pcs for museum, and now there is no more ADM chips :) I have updated my repository with production photos.

I also added pass true software so now I can use USB -> DMX and control receiver from DMX software - currently I have tried Q light controller + and it is working great!

I also added FireFly to kitspace https://kitspace.org/boards/github.com/intergalaktik/firefly/

And now I ordered

NXJ1S1205MC-R7 and ISO3086TDWR

To give this combination a try, and if this would work then I could make some boards that I could share ...
