About the Cluster test PCB

Cluster test is an open source PCB design by glovepost, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 26.2 × 26.2 mm, with 31 components from 6 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the MBI5043GP-A. By type, the board carries 16 LEDs, 9 capacitors, 5 ICs and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the displays & leds and sensors designs in this gallery.

KiCAD EDA automatic component placement tool

Current LED matrix displays are underwhelming: low brightness, low dynamic range, and washed‑out visuals in real venues. Hyperion flips that on its head with ridiculous luminance, high refresh, and a visual language that holds up in fog, dark, and daylight spill.

- Blinding brightness: designed to punch through haze and stage lighting - High refresh: > 500 Hz target for artifact‑free motion and strobes - Chunky pixels: 4 LEDs per pixel, 15 mm pitch for bold geometry - Modular: building full 420 × 420 mm panels (limited by JLC assembly) - Controls: video stream input (WIP) + DMX for…
