Hyperdrift is a panelized LED matrix artwork.

LED panels

Each panel can have an arbitrary layout of LEDs, as long as they are electrically connected in a 4x16 matrix (4 common cathodes, 16 anodes).

Mechanical specification

Example LED panel layouts

Grid

This is a straightforward grid of 8x8 pixels.

Display controllers

Each display controller is a 75x100mm board that drives three LED panels (12x16 matrix arrangement). It accepts 12V in. It is designed to allow for either daisy-chained or wagon-wheel bus arrangement.

Questions

How big is the Hyperdrift Display Controller PCB?

It measures 100 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hyperdrift Display Controller use?

39 parts, built around the AMS1117-5.0. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Hyperdrift Display Controller KiCad files?

From the combs/Hyperdrift repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Display controller/Hyperdrift-Display-Controller.kicad_pcb and its schematic Display controller/Hyperdrift-Display-Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hyperdrift Display Controller design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask combs before reusing the design.
