LIC (Language Independent Communication)
From SlugWiki
The LIC will be a LED display filling half of our lounge window. It will face the Media_Lab and allow us to communicate with the researchers. The LIC was inspired by the scrolling LED display in the window of the Media Lab.
The display will be an x-y matrix of LEDs with the rows and columns wired together. We will be using a PIC to scan across the rows while we input the column data directly from the parallel port of the computer.
