Overview

The display-pro is breakout board designed to intercept the 3-wire data/clock signal from the transmitter to amplify the data and clock signals and drive a larger display intended for a large audience.

It is built to drive an DC output for up to 60v volts so it is compatible with a variety of displays. The parts list has a display and power supply to keep you from having to come up with your own. Feel free to use the recommended option or play around with something else!

Online parts list

Sparkfun offers all of the components required for the display-pro. You can find a parts lists here.

If you plan to use something else for the display, you can leave out the Big Dome Buttons, the 12v power supply (you'll likely need something to supply more current anyway). You may also want to consider adding heat sinks, either two of the PRT-00121 or PRT-14340 depending on your load.

Questions

How big is the Display pro PCB?

It measures 57.8 × 58.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Display pro use?

19 parts, built around the FQP30N06L. 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 Display pro KiCad files?

From the crazy-giraffe-software/dmxdemonstrator repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/display-pro/display-pro.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Display pro design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
