Hardware
B0rd ships as a complete sign appliance: a certified panel class, a matched driver module, and the cable set that keeps power and signal honest. This page frames what is supported — not a parts scavenger hunt.
Models
- B0rd-M1A-S3Available
Flagship 64×64 LED matrix (Apollo M‑1 class). Diffusion-face desk model with rated power supply and pre-flashed B0rd OS — see thehome catalog and Get started.
- B0rd-D1IIn development
Color touch display running B0rd OS. This SKU is in active bring-up; specs and availability will be posted here when the product is certified.
Product class (matrix)
The first product line is a 64×64 LED matrixdriven by an ESP32-S3 class module. One panel, one module, one intended mount orientation.
- Panel — 64×64 RGB matrix, product brightness class as shipped.
- Controller — ESP32-S3 module with product-rated power input and matrix interconnect.
- Supply — the included power supply and cable set only. Third-party bricks are out of warranty and out of support.
How to read a SKU
Product labels follow a short class code, not a shopping list of discretes:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
B0rd | Product family |
64 | Panel resolution class (64×64) |
S3 | Controller class (ESP32-S3 family) |
| Region / finish | Power plug and enclosure finish as packed |
If the label on the carton and the label on the module disagree, stop and contact support before power-on. Mixed generations are not a supported configuration.
In the box
- 64×64 matrix panel (product SKU)
- ESP32-S3 driver module, pre-flashed with B0rd OS
- Ribbon / interconnect as packed
- Rated power supply and region cord
- Quick-start card pointing at Get started— layout and print copy on Packaging
Control button
Desk models expose a single tactile control reachable without opening the case (rear recess or edge). A short press advances the playlist or wakes eco sleep; a long press stages a factory reset with an on-panel countdown. Use the enclosure button for day-to-day recovery — not the tiny pads on a bare module.
Finishes
Same electronics and one OS image across finishes. The finish is how the matrix meets the room. Finish codes append to the class SKU (region and power plug stay separate).
| Finish | SKU suffix | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Diffusion face | DIFF | Desk default — acrylic or glass diffuser softens the pixel grid, widens viewing angle, and hides dust on the LEDs. Slightly lower peak brightness than open. |
| Open matrix | OPEN | Enthusiast option — bare matrix face, maximum punch and sharpness, more dust and moiré sensitivity. Same brightness class in software; no separate image. |
- Brightness — product defaults stay identical; diffusion trades peak nits for comfort. Night-dim and eco sleep cover the rest.
- Viewing — diffusion is kinder off-axis on a desk; open matrix rewards head-on and photography of the LEDs themselves.
- Service — both finishes keep the control button reachable without opening the case; face choice is mechanical, not a settings key.
Treat DIFF as the intended desk model and OPENas the alternate finish — not a different operating system.
Models under development
Additional panel classes and form factors are in development. When they are certified for B0rd OS, they will appear here with their own SKU codes and photos. Until then, treat the 64×64 desk class above as the supported product line.
What is deliberately out of scope
B0rd is not a general-purpose LED development kit. The following arenot supported product configurations:
- Other panel sizes or chain lengths (32×64, 128×64, multi-panel walls)
- Alternate controller boards or DIY pin remaps
- Customer board rework or pinout recovery
- Third-party power supplies, underrated injectors, or shared bus bars
Those experiments belong in a lab — not on a customer wall.
