This is a Ready to Run controller build — fully assembled and configured, so you can plug in and start running your pixel show right out of the box. No soldering or setup required. This is the industrial build and does not include an SD card.
The K32-Pro is a cape for the PocketBeagle 2 that is designed to drive ws281x LED pixels. It has 32 local ports that can each drive 800 pixels (with power injection) at 40FPS. It also has 8 RJ45 differential ports that can output an additional 32 strings via differential receivers. Finally, it has two RS485 outputs for DMX, PixelNet, Renard, LOR.
The K32-Pro has a Real Time Clock (RTC) to maintain time, a temperature sensor, input voltage sensors, an OLED display with navigation push buttons, three powered USB ports, onboard sound, socket for FM transmitter, and a Gigabit Ethernet port (wired via USB2 so roughly 300Mb/s speed).
The cape provides:
- 32 pixel connectors in banks for four.
- Each bank of four can use any voltage from 5V – 24V
- Each string can provide up to 5A of power
- 8 RJ45 connections for 32 more strings via differential receivers
- 2 RJ45 connections for DMX/LOR
- 3 USB-A connectors for WiFi adapters or other USB devices
- On-board pcm5102 DAC and headphone jack for sound
- Header to attach FM transmitter
- Gigabit Ethernet Connector
- Expansion header pins providing 8 gpio outputs and access to I2C bus, 3.3v power, and ground
- Temperature sensor.
- Real Time Clock
- 5v 4-Pin PWM Cooling Fan Connector
- 8 GPIO pins exposed to the user to allow adding additional buttons, proximity sensors, etc… to invoke various effects and functionality.
