Novastar MCTRL300 basic control software

Code can be found at the Github repository. Builds/executables are not available but if anyone has use for them, I’d happily create one for you… What? Simple, basic control of brightness and test patterns/mode for the Novastar MCTRL300 (and possibly others, but I don’t have others to test). It does not allow you to configure your screen. It can be used during testing or (I can imagine) to give just this piece of software to a client to let him dim the screen when no technician is available.

Unilumin Upad 2.6mm led screen repair

Introduction I regularly repair tiles of Unilumin 2.6mm Upad that have broken pixels. Since the pixel pitch (distance between the center of the pixels) is only 2.6mm, that leaves only about 0.5mm between the pixels. Not enough for soldering with conventional means. To do this, you do require good eyes or magnification as well as an hot air station. 96x96 pixels on a 25x25cm tile Damage by ripped off pixels. Note the distance between the center of the pixels is only 2.6mm. Pixel dimensions are 2.1x2.1mm.
