Today we are playing with the MAX7219 Driven Dot LED Matrix display. I was extremely surprised by how simple it was to get this running through the use of two libraries covered in the video.
We go through the multiple test examples which allow you to display text, variables, scrolling text and much more.

Great timing! I have one of these showing up tomorrow for a project and really had no idea where to start. Thanks so much!

@yusufcali793 6 лет назад

I had some problems with some cheap chinese matrises, and after watching this video and changing the hardware, all those problems are gone. Thank you very much for your time and explanation.

@SightsToKeepInSight 7 лет назад

Great! I was holding a MAX7219 to use in a project. But i was not getting how to do it. And you explained perfectly. Thanks.

@georgestewart5879 7 лет назад

good video, direct and to the point. Thanks.

@haythamhakla 6 лет назад

Is there a way to chain the matrices vertically as well to form a bigger display? ( say i want to connect a 5 rows x 10 columns of those display modules for example, is that possible)?

@kroome8 7 лет назад

thank you for sharing,... cheers!

@1larrydom1 7 лет назад

Quick question... I want to connect 4 of the matrix modules together. But I think power will be an issue. What is the best way to power the entire set?

@BGLENN-dp4tx 5 лет назад

Superb. Thanks for taking the time. Do you know of a source for smaller 8x8 matrix displays? The ones here (I have these already) are too large for my desired enclosure. Smaller "dots" would be necessary but I haven't seen them. Thanks.

@GeekMustHave 6 лет назад

Well done, getting ready to try my hand with a longer matrix, maybe 20-24 digits long with ESP8266 to pick up messages. Love your delivery. Keep broadcasting!!

@BobHuish 6 лет назад

I get something on the display, but it is backwards I used fc16 in the header amazon Cylewet MAX7219 Dot Matrix Module 4 Got it to work. I had changed the wrong file.

@davecleland1364 6 лет назад

Version 3.0( of the MD_MAX72xx lib) has hardware select in the Arduino Sketch. So you don't need to edit the header file any more. For example, Open Parola_Scrolling --> look for line of code(line 43 or so) #define Hardware_type MC_Max72xx::Parola_HW --> change Parola_HW to FC16_HW.( cheap aliexpress version 1088AS) or change to whatever hardware version you have.

Oooh, and suddenly the text displays non-inverted! Thanks a bunch!

@malcolmpalmer2437 5 лет назад

Brilliant. Many thanks. I've spent a long time to try and sort this out. Now it's working.

@petervh7217 5 лет назад

Hlo Dave, can u explain how to i can edit the library. bcouse i dont find the lib installed in my arduino software. i opend parola_scrolling, but in the Sketch there is no lin : #define Hardware_type MC_Max72xx. How i can change or ad the specific .h file? thanks in advance, Peter

@198407ankur 3 года назад

Sir, i want to ask when we connect this led matrix to arduino and then we connect them both with PC to upload program, does the matrix LED turns on automatically or not. In my case, when I'm connecting both the module with PC, some part of the LED turns on and some are off. This is my first project and i have very basic knowledge about electronic and nil about coding.

@m.samaha4708 7 лет назад

It is very nice tutorial. I heard you once saying you like to look for the problems which people faced it, here is one. I want to control of 3 axis Z,X AND Y . I want to keep it stable all of the time, means when the of the x,z and y change of data the motor or servo of the axis works to back stable again with other Axis while the other motors or servos of other axis be calm.

@EEEnthusiast 7 лет назад

Hi M. Samaha, That's an interesting application. Have you started working on it? I'm assuming you'd need an accelerometer/gyro in order to detect the real positioning and adjust the motors to the target based on the feedback loop. I'd gladly help you further if you want to message me more details about the project.

@m.samaha4708 7 лет назад

Yes, I need your help. I want to make stabilize for the x and y and z which mean when the sensor detect change on any axis , then give power to the axis which has change to keep the axis stable all of the time. I would like to do it with servos. Contact me on my email mossad.samaha@gmail.com

@m.samaha4708 7 лет назад

I found Arduino 9 Axes Motion Shield, Does it fit? Or you suggest use gyro "10-DOF IMU Breakout - L3GD20 + LSM303 + BMP180" both of it has 9 Axes. I am glad to work together on it.

@kka10001 5 лет назад

Open the header file of the library itself. (what is its name) What is the name of the (library itself) and where would one find this. Open some header file in some library itself is a little vague.

@1larrydom1 7 лет назад

Enjoyed the tutorial. One question... How do you open the header file to tell the sketch which board I have?? Thanks!

@EEEnthusiast 7 лет назад

Thank you for the kind comment. On a mac, you need to go into your Applications folder and locate the specific library. Inside of the library you will have to edit the header file; I used Xcode which was the default on my machine. On a Windows machine, you should be able to find the same in the Arduino/libraries/"any library" directory. Once there, just open the file in Notepad or any other editor and make the changes.

@1larrydom1 7 лет назад

EEEnthusiast, I finally figured it out! Thank you again for the help and I now need to get more modules to hook together!!

@kka10001 5 лет назад

Found the .h file and it is not like the one in the video. Seems you don't have to make the change anymore with the newer .h file. But all I got was every dot on the display was on. Maybe it don'w work on the Mega 2560

@ognjenkoprivica8169 5 лет назад

Version 3.0( of the MD_MAX72xx lib) has hardware select in the Arduino Sketch. So you don't need to edit the header file any more. For example, find #define HARDWARE_TYPE MD_MAX72XX::PAROLA_HW in the code and change this PAROLA_HW to FC16_HW or ICSTATION_HW or GENERIC_HW, it depends of your hardware and one will work

@zainsial4858 4 года назад

@SoundOfYourDestiny 6 лет назад

OK thanks, but we don't need the lecture at the beginning extolling the value of Arduino and open source. You mention it at the end, and that's sufficient. Thanks for the video.

@77slevins_video_channel 4 года назад

But where it really counts: showing us where to change for my particular hardware (header file), he glosses over and pops up a screen out of nowhere ....aaaand figure it out for yourself. Useless.

@glynnmason8205 6 лет назад

I am trying to understand why mine is inverted all the text is back to front

@felipecollado7644 5 лет назад

please give a feeback here.. were same

@felipecollado7644 5 лет назад

@glynn mason.. the problem has solve. you must install the MD_patrola with the version of 2.6.4 and the MD_MAX72xx version 2.6.0 that's the problem i've fix earlier..

@ulilulable 5 лет назад

The solution posted by Dave Cleland solved it for me. Basically change #define Hardware_type MC_Max72xx::Parola_HW to #define Hardware_type MC_Max72xx::FC16_HW to tell the library what hardware you have (I guess).

Using those libraries is easy. But how to drive the matrix from scratch?

Sir how to control speed of scrolling text.

@ognjenkoprivica8169 5 лет назад

find "uint8_t scrollSpeed = 25;" line in the code and change this value to higher to slow down scrolling or lower to speed it up.
