Octo-Plus with Real Time Clock and OLED

Product Overview

The Octoscrolla is a cape that is designed to plug into a Beagle Bone Black variant running Falcon Player to allow you to run up to 96 P10 panels or 40 P5 panels. Each of the eight connectors can control up to twelve P10 panels or five P5 panels.

The onboard RTC is DS1307 compatible. It allows FPP to keep proper time after a power loss. A CR1220 lithium battery is required to power the RTC (supplied).

The original Octoscroller was developed by Trammel Hudson and some background information on it can be found at http://www.nycresistor.com/2013/09/12/octoscroller/

• Supports up to eight P10 or P5 panel chains for Beagle Bone Black, Green, Blue, or Industrial variants.
• Each chain of panels can have either twelve 1/8th scan P10 panels or five 1/16th scan P5 panels daisy chained.
