iEthernetLED News Ticker

The handy LED News Ticker brings the news to you by displaying up-to-date headlines in a scrolling format. The system features a main board and eight slave boards attached to dot-matrix LED displays. The main board features a Microchip Technology PIC18F2525 microcontroller connected to a WIZnet WIZ810MJ Ethernet module, which uses the W5100 to provide an easy-to-use interface to the Internet. The LED News Ticker requires no interaction to operate. Once powered up, the device immediately connects to the Internet and downloads news updates every 15 minutes. It handles all DHCP leasing and DNS resolving, allowing you to use dynamic IP addresses.
