Background
While there are a myriad of computer based controller hardware available that will run under the Vixen software for controlling Christmas lighting, there were no LED display panels that could be controlled thru Vixen. Robert Jordan decided that the Vixen community needed a LED sign and took it upon himself to design and prototype an LED scrolling board. While Robert had seen LED boards everywhere, he wanted on that allowed you to do text and animation. He envisaged a LED display board that could be your show sign and a place for animations during the show.
Why LEDTRIKs? When Robert first announced the concept of the board he was working on to the Vixen Forum, some suggested to Robert that the board would allow users to perform tricks with LEDs aka ‘LEDTRIKs’.
