content: I have a quantity of Siemens branded HDSP-2001 & HDSP-2003 4 character LED matrix displays recovered from a vision mixer. The HDSP-2000 series are 4 characters of 5x7 LEDs that display a bitmap character from a serial data stream (upto 3mhz) and 5 column lines. There are ready made arduino sketches out there to drive them. Most of the time these are usually the red version but i have only yellow and green available.At the moment they are all soldered in place onto PCB strips of 9 or 10 modules long to give 36 or 40 characters ready wired to use as a single display. These could save a lot of time if someone wants to make up their own project using these displays as they are ready to be used and mounted. Multiple PCBs could be chained to make them even longer.Now the catch is the yellow and green modules are alternate on the PCB. So this means every 4 characters will be green, then 4 yellow, then 4 green, 4 yellow etc. Of course if you take two boards you could de-solder half of them each and make up two PCBs with the same colour.The 9 module PCBs have 5x HDSP-2003 (Green) and 4x HDSP-2001 (Yellow) and are 170mm by 22mm. Total 4 availableThe 10 module PCBs have 5x HDSP-2003 (Green) and 5x HDSP-2001 (Yellow) and are 190mm by 22mm. Total 8 available.Pinouts of the PCBs:Code:CableWireHDSPHDSPPinColourPinSignal--------------------------------01Brown10Clock02Red08Vb03Orange01Column 104Yellow02Column 205Black03Column 306Blue04Column 407Purple05Column 508Grey12Data In09White07Data Out10Black09Vcc11Brown11GND12Red11GNDThese displays usually sell individually on ebay for about £5 each.I am asking for £35 each for the 9 module and £40 each for the 10 module, postage to be added at cost and i can post worldwide.Images and datasheet attached below.I will be making a test jig up so i can power up and test every display before i post them out, i'll add some pictures showing this when it's done in a couple of days time.

content: After much thought i unsoldered all of the displays from the PCBs and they are available on ebay in lots of 5 displays in either green or yellow.They are priced at 5 for £20.00 (£4 each) + postage.Ebay offers UK/European shipping, if your elsewhere please contact me and i can work out the shipping costs for you and we can work out a sale off ebay.Each HDSP display has been individually tested and the pins are in excellent conditionEbay link is here:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=262889096514&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:ITIf you have any questions, please ask!

content: I bought a set each of the green and yellow, and like dexters_lab said, they're in excellent condition. Some signs of having been soldered before, but that's to be expected.
