Hack an LED Sign (Roadmaster RRDS100 PCB, Whole)
See the notes for component details. I picked this LED sign up at Target for $15--50% off because it was in their "Holiday" packaging. So, I'm attempting to use it in a more useful manner than sticking it in my car (which is what it was intended for, funny enough).
You know, like hooking it up to the Internet.
So far, I've mapped the important components (see notes) and traced pinouts IR interface and the unpopulated serial interface. The next step is soldering in a 5-pin header to the serial interface and testing it out with an RS232->TTL cable which should be here soon. Here's hoping I don't blow anything up.
