Program my sign!
2006-09-18, 8:26 PM #1
So I'm sure I've told you guys about that old LED sign that I have. Well, this year at school I was lucky enough to get a first-floor room facing the street, so there's all sorts of possibilities for random messages to be displayed to passers-by. Currently it says "trapped in sign factory, send help" (blatantly stolen from SA, of course). What I want to do is change it every few days or so to keep people interested.

Suggestions?

Done!

It's actually a lot brighter than this, but I didn't feel like turning the flash off, due to my lack of a tripod.

I like the other suggestions too, so don't worry, they will be saved and used in future messages!

Here's what you do. Make a script so that people can program it online. Maybe vote for the top position untila phrase is retired, like QDB but shorter. OR exclamation points with no end:

I wish I could, but this sign is some archaic late-80's piece of crappy technology and I can't get it to communicate with a computer. It's got 2 RJ-11 jacks on the side which I've been told are some sort of serial port, but despite my best attempts at sending random data to it, nothing ever happens.

Is the company still around? What's the model?

What is the company? Maybe someone here can find an old manual or something online.

It's a "LaBelle Display Sciences Group" model "202 LA EXP LINK" according to the sticker on the back. Google searches have not turned up much; I think the company is defunct.

Have it say "Someone stole the other sign. When you see this message on another sign, bring it back here."
