Anyone Use LED Scrollers?
Question for anyone using an LED message scroller.
Do you use one that is linked and controlled to a PC whilst it is scrolling (and if so do you have a dedicated PC for it), or do you use one that you can pre-program before the event and then leave it running solus for the event?

Yes - I use one for lots of non-formal events to great effect.Originally Posted by JoinToReadSucks
I have a series of pre-programmed messages that can be over-ridden either by a PC program or a handheld remote ("Happy Birthday Fred" or whatever).
Just about to sell my spare as it's only been out of the box about three times in two years... keep an eye on For Sale this afternoon. It's a really good long, thin, multi-coloured one

I use one for quizzes, but otherwise I don’t tend to use one.
I control it via a laptop (not a dedicated laptop), the problem I found with the software mine uses is you cant see what the effect is, e.g. you can tell it to do something but you have to physically look at it to check it is doing the right thing.
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing.
It was here first.

I used to have a 30 quid job that stored a few messages and looked ok but I wish I had gone for a computer or remote controlled one to save messing about with the keypad on the unit itself.

Can you play something with a beat ?
I have a 1 meter full colour one Iuse for wedding fayres.
When the world ends , ill probably have to clean up the mess.
i bought one with a remote and RS232 connection - alas the remote is impossible to fathom and the PC software I've lostOnly used it twice
Avoid the Cheapo £49.00 jobs that Cralins are selling. I made that mistake when I first started. Never again. But then again I'd have to be pretty desperate to ever buy anything from them again.
Everything I've ever bought from them I've had to take back for refund. Sorry going
i had one for a while, but found it a pain to program, even using the pc. The software often didnt link correctly to the scroller.
setting up with the remote control took forever. Mine went on ebay
I had one - thought it looked tacky and unprofessional so got rid of it.
