Medusa Cape: BeagleBone Black cape that snoops the LCD video output of the BeagleBone and picks off RGB pixel values. Those values are mapped to LED pixels on one of 32 WS2811/WS2812 LED strips of up to 512 LEDs each. Medusa TX32: A 32-channel RS-422 transmitter board that sends 4 pairs of RS-422 signalling out of each of eight RJ-45 connectors. Common CAT5/6 Ethernet cabling (TIA-568B) can be used to connect up to four strips on each cable. * Medusa RX2: A 2-channel RS-422 receiver board that picks off two…
