Didn't knew this about HDMI?
Doesn't go against #eu intention to use #standard #connectors for all the devices?.

#displayport is a much better option.

The EU should #ban #HDMI on new devices.

It would definitely make it easier to create smaller versions of the SoundSlab grid too. I like this beast, but being modular has advantages!

I can manufacture the individual boards cheaper, or even stuff them at home since the boards would fit in my “reflow oven” *cough* toaster oven.

Also, perhaps someone might want a 4x4 grid for some other fun project.

This lunchtime's crazy idea: what if I split the SoundSlab grid into smaller 4x4 pieces + two 1x8 columns for control on the sides?

Fitting FFC connectors seemed impossible, but guess what? Vertical FFC connectors exist! A 40 pin vertical FFC connector would fit right between keys on the back.

The boards would have to be mounted flush next to each other, and there's not really room for board-to-board connectors.
