Glediator - LED Matrix Control Software Glediator stands for Graphical LED Installation Anima TOR and is a small piece of software to control led matrix and led stripe installations. Glediator is written in Java and thus platform independent. Glediator can drive led installations made of: • our, • stripes & matrices made of WS2801 pixels, • stripes & matrices made of WS2811 / WS2812 pixels (also called Neo-pixels), • any light installation that receives ArtNet data, as well as • any light installation that receives TPM2 & TPM2.Net data. 100 feet movie free download. On (external link) you will find a lively discussion about Glediator and ongoing progress (became a really long thread meanwhile).
Glediator in action This clip is showing an old version of Glediator since there are drastic changes to the curent version an updated clip will be added soon. Installation Just download the zip file of the latest software version from the and extract it to a folder on your local hard drive. To be able to use Glediator's serial output you will have to install the RXTX library on your system. A simple google search for 'RXTX' followed by your system (e.g. 'Win 7 64bit') will guide you easily to the RXTX page were you will find corresponding files for download as well as a short installation manual. It's really not a big deal. Just start Glediator by a double click on 'Glediator.jar' or by using the command 'java -jar Glediator.jar' from within a console.
Data output Glediator can shift data out via serial interface (COM ports as well as virtual COM ports) and via Ethernet (ArtNet, TPM2.Net). The serial interface can be adjusted up to 1000000 baud allowing to push out frames as big as about 1000 pixels with a frame rate of 24 FPS. Via Ethernet much bigger matrices can be supplied with data.
Glediator has no restrictions to the matrix size. However, you will certainly come to the point were the power of your PC's CPU will not be sufficient to calculate huge matrices in the range of 200x200 Pixels. Stripes & Matrices made of WS2801-Pixels If you want to control an LED stripe / matrix made of the legendary WS2801 pixels and you have an Arduino you can just download the Arduino sketch from and operate your matrix by Glediator! The baud rate in the firmware is set to 500000 baud. 
If you configure Glediator output just choose this baud rate, select 'Glediator Protocol' as output type and select your particular pixel oder / board order (latter one only if you divided your matrix into sub matrices).
