current implementation
- The display has a jumper which allows 3 modes at boot, and 3 modes at run time.
- The attached power supply is too weak to have all the leds lit at full brightness. Expect crashing hardware here
- Some of the modes (in random order
- display test (led flood)
- display test (noise)
- display test (unknown)
- game of life (slow)
- game of life (normal)
- game of life (fast)

One of the first electronic devices on the very first day of our physical space, is the display showing ACKspace with a different prefix scrolling in vertically.

Since the video plugin still doesn't work with MOV, here a direct link. You see a christmas LED tree with the marquee on the background here: Media:Christmas_tree_and_message_ticker.mov.
