Using multiple 7x10 LED Matrix Click Boards in an app

#1 Post by barrickm » 05 Oct 2020 01:24

I've noticed that some of your application example videos are able to do this, including scrolling text across multiple 7x10 LED matrix click boards at once.
I've examined the schematic for the 7x10 R Click board, as well as the source for the driver on GIthub.

However, from the looks of it, the existing driver doesn't support multiple 7x10 LED matrix click boards in the same application, either separately or with their shift registers ganged together.

It doesn't appear to be possible to instantiate multiple instances of the driver for the 7x10 R click board, due to the testFrame[7][40] array being declared "static".

Do you have a library for supporting multiple 7x10 LED matrix click boards in an application, or were your video demonstrations on the easyPIC PRO v8 development board built with custom applications?

Hi,

It is possible with the mikroSDK2.0 library for this click board in Necto Studio.
So, I believe the project you noticed is written in Necto Studio.

The source code of this library is available here:
https://github.com/MikroElektronika/mik ... ter/clicks

Kind regards,

Thanks much. This is very helpful. I'm probably going to move onto the 32x32 LED matrix, and having access to the source for that driver is also very helpful.

Best regards,
