The display consists of one digit driver per display digit that receive power and +transceive data through a two-wire powerline bus. This bus can support 10-50 digits depending on the size of the display +(and thus current consumption). The bus is driven by a driver board that is in turn controlled through RS-485. + +The hardware is mostly finalized and can be found in ``center`` (digit controller) and ``driver`` (bus driver). The +firmware is still WIP and can be found in ``center_fw`` (digit controller), ``driver_fw`` (bus driver) and +``common`` (common 8b10b implementation). |
