A quick question for DJ or Jeremie.
Can I ask what the exact dimensions for the upcoming 8x8 RGB LED arrays are please (actual display and overall unit size)? I need to cut some holes soon before painting the area these arrays will fitted in to when they become available, so I'd be grateful for the info.
Thanks.

ditto also ETA
ETA is coming soon
There was a bug in the compiler for the chipsets used in the new sensors - i discovered the bug in the compiler so the manufacturer is making fixes and will be releasing an update to me soon. As for the dimensions, i have one here which i can measure for you. I'll do that shortly for you
Thanks DJ.
@DJ.
Have you got them measurements for me?
I'll be back at my place tonight and get the measurements for you
Cool. That'll be great.
P.s, I'll need the screen depth measurements too, if that's cool.
Cheers.
Here the are!
@DJ.
Fantastic. Many many thanks. That will be a great help indeed. Time to get the Dremel out and start cuttin.
I appreciate you doing that for me.
great news on the sizes bigger than the bi-colour ones I will be replacing so not a hard job now all we need to know is how long is
What chip is being used?
Thanks
It's a microchip Pic - but i forget which model. It's the same micro that is also used in the 18 RGB LED Block, Humanoid Head with Camera & RGB Eyes and in 18 RGB LED PCB for diy.
Just to note, the header pins that connect the LED matrix to the board may not exist in the production version, it was simply for testing.
It's more likely that the LED matrix pins will be soldered directly to the board to create a smaller form factor.
That's cool. Thanks for letting us know Jeremie.
