Kulp K64D-B

The K64D-B is a cape for the BeagleBone Black designed to drive ws2811 LED pixels via long range differential receivers. It has 16 RJ45 differential ports that can output 64 strings of pixel data. It also has a two UART based differential outputs for driving DMX, Renard, LOR, PixelNet, etc…. The 16 RJ45 ports provide the ability to drive a ws2811 pixel differential receiver boards. Each port can drive standard differential receivers or can be configured to use either v1 or v2 SmartReceivers. Using v2 protocol, 6 smart receivers can be chained off of each of the 16 outputs. All ports can be configured to output as many pixels as the ws281x spec allows, 800 for 40fps, 1600 for 20fps. For end-user usability, it provides a Real Time Clock, temperature sensors, an OLED display, and four push buttons for navigating menus on the display. The K64A-B also has an on-board, high quality DAC chip for providing sound. It also has two extra headers for additional functionality. One header provides a
