B0RD

Features

B0RD OS is a small set of dependable behaviors for LED matrix signs — not a lighting toybox.

Idle clock

A clear wall clock when nothing else owns the panel. Soft motion sits behind the hands so the sign still feels alive without stealing focus.

Launch countdown

Upcoming missions with compact T‑minus headers when network time is known. Pull live data on home Wi‑Fi, or inject a short list when offline.Manual chapter →

Notifications

Short title-and-body overlays with optional duration. While a notify is up, the underlay switches to high-contrast motion so the message stays readable.Manual chapter →

SoftAP + STA

First setup on SoftAP B0RD-<suffix> (chip MAC or friendly-name slug); day-to-day control over USB and the LAN address once the sign joins your network.Networking →

Accessibility

High-contrast and colorblind-safe display presets favor luminance and structure over subtle hue. Pair with night dim when the sign lives in a bedroom or close desk. Display chapter →

Apps

Apps put motion and chrome on the panel. You install them by building them into the firmware — underlay motion such as plasma, and base modes such as launch countdown — not by downloading modules onto the device. See The OS and the glossary entry for App.
