important points to know:
- does not include LEDs. we let you source these yourself in order to have a wide choice of color and brightness.
- you’ll need to build your own enclosure and top plate. check the forum for much discussion.
- if you’d like to build a complete 8×8, you’ll need 1 logic 1 driver 1 keypad. for a complete 8×16 you’ll need 1 logic 2 driver 2 keypad. for a complete 16×16 you’ll need 1 logic 4 driver 4 keypad.
- to upgrade a 2x (or 4x) 40h kit (using your existing keypad kit) you’ll need 1 logic 2 (or 4) driver.
assembly guides and how-to articles are forthcoming. difficulty level will be similar to the original 40h kit—check out the assembly guide if you’d like to gauge difficulty.
