Game Day Scoreboard

DIY: run it on your own board

The Game Day Scoreboard firmware is open source under the MIT license. If you have an ESP32-S3 HUB75 controller and a panel, you can run it for free, with every league and setting a Game Day Scoreboard has.

These pages are for makers who build their own. If you bought a Game Day Scoreboard, start at Set up your scoreboard instead.

What you need

Section titled “What you need”
  • An ESP32-S3 board with 16 MB of flash and 8 MB of octal PSRAM, like a dev board with an N16R8 module, on the MoonHub75 pinout. A MoonHub75 board is already wired that way.
  • A button from GPIO0 to ground. The BOOT button on most dev boards is already wired that way.
  • One 64x64 HUB75 panel, two 64x64 panels side by side, or one 128x64 panel.
  • A 5 V power supply rated for the panel.
  • A 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. The panel doesn’t join 5 GHz networks.
  • A USB cable and a computer with Chrome or Edge for the first install.

The path

Section titled “The path”
  1. Choose a board. Boards covers the MoonHub75, a bare ESP32-S3 wired to the same pins, and other boards.
  2. Wire the panel and power it. Panels and power covers sizes, chaining two panels and the supply.
  3. Install from the DIY installer. Install the firmware walks through it and explains how updates reach your board.
  4. Set it up like any owner. Joining Wi-Fi, picking a team and the Game Day app work the same as on a Game Day Scoreboard. Follow Set up your scoreboard.
