Nah i meant different, but i found a way. will share l;ater

Meant word, my bad

How do i make a table template for powerpoint that can be in any slide i use, like the ones that are built in?

Nah algd xd, and ill look at it when i can, thanks.

Damn thatss a good explanation. Thankyou.

moonzy was right there,

ah ok, my main reason to not want to use them is that all will need LEDs...

Lets say that i was going to control tonnes of LEDS, would i need to use resistors for them? All resistors do (if i remember right) is control the current going in, what if i just have a supply that delivers the current required and no more? Would it affect them in any way? If i do need them any place to find out what ones i need for my LEDS? and where can i buy them cheap in bulk. I have found this: The short answer: to limit the current in the LED to a safe value. The long answer: LEDs are semiconductors, diodes in particular. The current flowing in an LED is an exponential function of voltage across the LED. The important part about that for you is that a small change in voltage can produce a huge change in current. That is the most important concept of this article. Resistors aren’t like that. The current and voltage in a resistor are linearly related. That means that a change in voltage will produce a proportional change in current. Current versus voltage is a straight line for a resistor, but not at all for an LED. Because of this, you can’t say that LEDs have “resistance.” Resistance is defined as the constant ratio of voltage to current in a resistive circuit element. Even worse, there’s no real way to know exactly the relationship between current and voltage for any given LED across all possible voltages other than direct measurement. The exact relationship varies among different colors, different sizes, and even different batches from the same manufacturer. When you buy an LED, it should come with a rating that looks like this: 3.3V @ 20 mA typical. That gives you one point along the operating curve. Usually that’s a safe operating point. You may get a maximum rating in addition. It may be in the form of either a voltage or current. For example, a lot of people report buying “5V blue LEDs.” These are really not rated to operate continuously at 5V in most cases. The other thing I’d like you to take away from this article is the idea that it’s more useful to talk about driving an LED with a current of a particular size, instead of a voltage. If you know the voltage across an LED, you can not determine the current flowing in it, unless you are operating it at the exact point along the curve that’s described in the specs. Worse, being “off by a little” in the forward voltage can have a drastic effect in the current. So the approach I prefer is to select a current-limiting resistor in order to achieve a target current in the LED. Most 3mm and 5mm LEDs will operate close to their peak brightness at a drive current of 20 mA. This is a conservative current: it doesn’t exceed most ratings (your specs may vary, or you may not have any specs–in this case 20 mA is a good default guess). In most cases, driving the LED at a higher current will not produce substantial additional light. Instead, the junction (the working parts of the LED) has to dissipate the excess power as heat. Heating the junction will decrease its useful life, and can reduce the output of the LED substantially. Heating it enough will cause catastrophic failure (producing a dark emitting diode).

my budget is about $500-750, but i can do more if needed. and what ideas are you talking about?

Thanks! i will look into it!

Maybe, ill have to work on the design.

Ah ok lol. props dont wanna see it then.

yeah, but its mainly to learn some stuff, and i dont want a projecter, the led wall will be used for many things, and i want to be able to scale it larger or smaller, for different projects

I know, im just wondering if anyone had any recommendations of good companys

https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/10/10/pixblasters-ms1-video-led-controller-hdmi-to-led-video-wall/ i found this. but i dont think its big enough im aware, cost is something i wanna keep low but can live without. more of a little project then anything else,

damn the video wont load as i am at school xd

Hi there, does anyone know any ways i can control a giant led screen with hdmi or VGA( it will probs be like 10,000 by 10,000 leds or something). i know there are shift controllers etc but i want to know if anyone knows of a video or tutrorial that shows easy to expand diy led displays thingys. Thanks Blake

I am going to be making a huge LED wall and i wish to buy tonnes cheap. anyone know where i can buy bulk cheapo, yet good ones. Thanks

I brought a ton of resistors, then lost them xd, idk where they are but i may find one day

Try to organise and sort your room, and do a deep clean, i always do them cause of my mild OCD (i have medication to help during the day) and i can usually find something after a deep clean, Otherwise make a check list of every space in your house, search each spot and tick it off, search them twice, also check your car as well, local lost property or anything similar.
