Adafruit32x16RGB
From Bloominglabs
I am working on a project using 16x32 RGB Panel.
Here is a video of the panel working:
I wanted to figure out the timing for the interface so I wrote the code myself without using the sample code.
Here is the sample code:
// test the 32x16 LED board. Public Domain. #define A A0 #define B A1 #define C A2 #define LAT A3 #define OE 9 #define CLK 8 #define R1 2 #define G1 3 #define B1 4 #define R2 5 #define G2 6 #define B2 7 void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); pinMode(R1,OUTPUT); pinMode(G1,OUTPUT); pinMode(B1,OUTPUT); pinMode(R2,OUTPUT); pinMode(G2,OUTPUT); pinMode(B2,OUTPUT); pinMode(CLK,OUTPUT); pinMode(OE,OUTPUT); pinMode(A,OUTPUT); pinMode(B,OUTPUT); pinMode(C,OUTPUT); pinMode(LAT,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(A,LOW); digitalWrite(B,LOW); digitalWrite(C,LOW); digitalWrite(LAT,LOW); digitalWrite(OE,LOW); digitalWrite(CLK,HIGH); } void updateRow(int i) { digitalWrite(OE,LOW); // Set the row address if ( i & 0x1 ) { digitalWrite(A,HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(A,LOW); } if ( i & 0x2 ) { digitalWrite(B,HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(B,LOW); } if ( i & 0x4 ) { digitalWrite(C,HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(C,LOW); } for ( uint8_t x = 0; x < 64; x++ ) { digitalWrite(CLK,LOW); if ( x > 31 ) { // This will end up on the display closest to the arduino digitalWrite(R1,HIGH); digitalWrite(G1,HIGH); digitalWrite(B1,HIGH); digitalWrite(R2,LOW); digitalWrite(G2,LOW); digitalWrite(B2,HIGH); } else { // This will end up on the display farthest from the arduino digitalWrite(R1,LOW); digitalWrite(G1,HIGH); digitalWrite(B1,LOW); digitalWrite(R2,HIGH); digitalWrite(G2,LOW); digitalWrite(B2,LOW); } digitalWrite(CLK,HIGH); } digitalWrite(LAT,HIGH); digitalWrite(LAT,LOW); digitalWrite(OE,HIGH); } void loop() { for ( int i = 0; i < 8; i++ ) { updateRow(i); } }
Here is a video of it working:
I tried the sample programs with 2 cascaded displays and they were mirrored for some reason. I'm not sure why. Also, the first row is corrupted. Here are videos of that happening:
