   Drop-in replacement for an LED display controller :3 I have 5 of those displays. Funnily enough, those were the first passenger information displays I ever owned, I got 4 of them after writing to transport operators all across Germany, and one recently from a friend. Back then, I designed a replacement controller with a simple Arduino Nano, which was my first custom PCB ever. That was around 10 years ago. About time to refresh those displays with something more modern!

     The benefits of a working inventory management system: Checking which parts I needed to buy was super quick and easy. Turns out I have everything in stock except for the Ethernet chip and RJ45 jack as well as most of the pluggable terminal blocks!

     Unfortunately, those are the most expensive parts :neofox_shocked:

     @cato Heh reminds me that we're probably going to do something similar at local hackerspace because we got an Irisbus Agora (yeah a whole bus, although they kept few things for themselves but we have the information displays).
