MagTag-Contentful-Courier VS mlb-led-scoreboard

If you’ve got a MagTag, head over to GitHub for a link to the full source code with dependencies, an exported content model, instructions on how to set up Courier and a guide on how to install it on your device. Next up for me is to convince our CFO to let me order 559 more MagTags so I can cover the lobby of the Berlin Office with our Contentful version of moveable type. Until then I’ll be keeping my MagTag up on my fridge!

So this is the instructions for the scoreboard: https://github.com/MLB-LED-Scoreboard/mlb-led-scoreboard/wiki

First and foremost, thank you to Tommy Farley’s MLB LED Scoreboard Project for the inspiration + most of the code base. My brother and I have been wanting a CFB equivalent of this forever, so we decided to build our own using a Raspberry Pi Zero and a 32 * 64 LED Matrix. Here is a link to the video demo. If you just so happen to have the same equipment, great! Here is our GitHub repository with the code + instructions on making your own. We’re also looking to sell these in the future (once the semiconductor shortage has hopefully settled down)— if you’re interested please let us know! As always, feedback from you all is great appreciated on how we can make this better.

About $200 in parts, runs out of a Pi.

I help maintain the MLB LED scoreboard project and we don't recommend anything less than 5A for a single matrix, and you're running 6 of them. In fact, the tutorial you linked suggests that you are way underpowering your matrices: https://learn.adafruit.com/32x16-32x32-rgb-led-matrix/powering

quick paste of an old how to file i made however heres the github link gh

I bought the RGB matrix and Raspberry Pi and assembled it. Just followed the process here to get the software running - https://github.com/MLB-LED-Scoreboard/mlb-led-scoreboard

You can look at the code/follow steps to build one yourself here: https://github.com/MLB-LED-Scoreboard/mlb-led-scoreboard. It's pretty straight forward if you have a technical background but if not it might take you a bit to get up to speed with the raspberry pi.

It supports a bunch of different matrix sizes, requires no assembly, and is free, so developers of software like the MLB LED scoreboard don't have to set up and maintain physical hardware to maintain the project. Consumers of those types of projects get the same benefits so you can run the emulated version without needing to pick up a soldering iron.
