Garrett Mace is also looking forward to Maker Faire, so he hooked up an old Betabrite scrolling LED sign to Seeeduino with his ChronoDot to display the amount of time until the gates swing open to the public. Of course, his code isn’t only for Maker Faire: you can use it to count down to anything you want with a scrolling LED sign like the Betabrite (which uses the same protocol as a lot of other scrolling LED signs). Nice work, Garrett! We’ll have to rig one up at MAKE headquarters!
