I'm amazed at how cheap the LED matrix listed in the parts list is. About a third of a cent per LED, not even counting the rest of the hardware! Wow.

  > About a third of a cent per LED, not even counting the rest of the hardware! At €20 per 32x8 module (2000/256), that's €0.078 per LED which is considerably more expensive than a third of a eurocent, I think? Even if it was €20 for all 6 panels, that's still over a eurocent per LED (2000/1536). > I'm amazed at how cheap the LED matrix listed in the parts list is. Cheaper now - AliExpress will sell you 6 32x8 boards for £59.21 (3.85p per LED or ¢5.16 if you're a colonial) saving you ~€52 over the original €120 price.

    Technically it would depend on the colony. The US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all ex colonies and all use the cent. I'm sure there are a few more, we did get around a bit.

      > Technically it would depend on the colony. Fair point. I keep forgetting how many people have weird currencies outside of Merkia.
