This page documents the integration of MOTHER with BigBrite LED Signs. Although a lot of this information is related to connecting the LED signs with MOTHER, a lot of the information found here is related to the general hacking of the BigBrite LED signs.

BigBright Communication

Most of the BigBrite signs have an rj11 or rj45 jack that allows the sign to be programmed via rs232 serial communication. It's possible that some of the these signs have an rs485 port that is meant to be plugged into an Internet connection, but none of these signs have been tinkered with yet.

BigBrite Connection Potentials

The serial port was intended to be a connected to the "Multimedia 2007" software provided by BigBrite. The software allows you to make various screens, animations, and set settings related to the signs operation, which it can then transmit to the sign over the serial port.
