Here's my completed news and weather scroller, using the Arduino Uno R3, an ESP 8266, and two MAX7219 panels. I made the case from red oak beadboard, cut and engraved with a diode laser cutter, as was the grill, which is 1/8" thick Baltic Birch plywood. The surrounding lights are run by the Arduino board (running several different random light patterns), and the scroller is controlled by the ESP 8266. The lights are surplus Soviet panel lights from old aircraft, salvaged by a supplier from Ukraine. Thanks to Marco for help with the project!
