Hi there,
I want to send data to this LED board: http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/590998/LED-LAUFSCHRIFT-ROT
The data sheet is available here: http://www.produktinfo.conrad.com/datenblaetter/575000-599999/590998-da-01-en-LED_LAUFSCHRIFT_ROT.pdf
To get started I had a look at the forums and found this topic: http://forum.processing.org/topic/processing-brg-led-display-signs where zach.gage posted some code, how he managed to talk to a LED sign by a different manufacturer.
The problem is that he connected the sign via parallel port, but I got a USB connection. So I am trying to figure out how I can send data to the device via USB.
Any ideas on how I can get started?
