Here is a recent demo I did with the MAX 7219 Display Driver and a LED Matrix. I also added some input into the Arduino to control speed and. How to Use the MAX7. LED display Matrix on the. Arduino. MAX7. 21. How to Use the MAX7. LED display Matrix on the. Arduino. The MAX7. LED driver saves you processor pins and processing time! Below. you can find out exactly why this is true and how you can use these devices on. Arduino. In addition you can daisy chain multiple 7. There are 1. 6 output lines from the 7. LEDs. In fact the LEDs are arranged as an 8x. Each colum is pulsed for a short time while the row bits for. Our eyes remember a flash of light for approximately 2. LED) at a rate at or faster than 2. Let's scroll some text using MAX7219 LED dot matrix with an Arduino and connect. Remembering that you can connect modules as you want. Coloured Lamp Using Arduino and. LED Matrix Displays 0$; 0$. MAX, unless otherwise. This is how the 7. All the. leds are individually turned on for a short time, at rate greater than 2. MAX7. 21. 9 SPI Interface. The MAX7. 21. 9 has a four wire SPI interface - clock, data, chip select and. Data - MOSI - Master Output.

Via current setting resistor (Rset). By using an internal control register. Resistor Brightness Control. You can not use one without the other though, as you have to use the. Iset - actual current is 1. Iset current value). The minimum value. A Brightness - in reality you just use. LEDs you use - probably should be using a. RED LEDs - see below). The current setting also depends on the forward voltage drop of the LEDs you. Each different LED colour has a different forward voltage drop - see. Table 1. 1 : RSET vs. Segment Current and LED. Forward Voltage Iseg (m. A)Vled (V)1. 5. 2. From datasheet. The register 0x. XA sets the level using the 4 lower data bits i. Connections at the top of the board are identical to. Dout. The other 4 lines are. Note: To add more scrolling displays. Displays variable to match (2nd example code). Understanding the MAX7. The MAX7. 21. 9 input interface is a 1. The. first 8 bits define a command while the second 8 bits define the data for that. Only 4 address lines select the operation to perform - the other 4 are not. Note that the MSB is sent first. The top 4 bits are redundant but you. The most important point is that multiple MAX7. Dout from one to the Din of the next. Load. and clock (CLK) are kept the same for all devices. The load pulse (CSn) is a trigger that sends all the data from the shift. You can. change the shift register contents as much as you need to (consider data flow. CSn line by pulsing it low then high. Dot Matrix Display 1. ASThe datasheet shows the diode layout in a fairly unhelpful way (it is biased. Source. . Put Positive probe (red) to pin 1. You will then see diode in column 8 and row 5 light up. TIP: The above method can be used to. LED locations on any unknown LED MATRIX. MAX7. 21. 9 Libraries. There are quite a few libraries around (one calls itself yet- another MAX7. Note: To get going quickly with. Max. Matrix below. Some work better than others but of the few I chose at random - I did have. What I want to do sounds simple enough - use two MAX7. LEDs) daisy chained and scroll some text across them. One thing you should note is that these libraries probably are expecting. Therefore they are fairly slow - especially if you want to do other. However they work well enough for the task here. Library Led. Control. The first library I tried provided basic operation of character output and. But on my displays the text was back to. This is a basic library that will use less memory than others - so it. This library was installed using the Arduino library manager! Led. Control Examples. Edit the following (examples in the install directory) for the pins used. LCDemo. Cascaded. Devices. ino (2. 28. Bytes) Individual pixel control - does. LCDemo. 7Segment. Bytes) - no idea what this is doing! LCDemo. Matrix. ino (3. Bytes) - Sort of works with backwards text. Note: This library does not scroll. Examples are for one 6. This library can be made to work by adding your own code on top but you have. One problem I had. The assumption. is that you are using the LEDs correctly i. The ones. shown in the wiring diagram below have rows and columns swapped - the top of. LED display (pin diagram above) is the left side. I am using ones in which it easier to have rows as vertical and columns as. Would be nice to have a code switch to change this around. I have done on the non MAX7. This LED matrix project directly controls a. LED matrix using 8 transistors (COLUMNS) and 8 data drives (ROWS)). Alternative library Maxtrix. Library Max. Matrix. This is a manual install to the < location of your sketches> /libraries. This second library I used (Max. Matrix). This provides a simple interface and multiple. Left - probably the only function you need to use (see example 3)shift. Upshift. Right - see code notes (below) as this one does not work that. Down. For most users wanting to left scroll scrolling text this library works well. It will not work correctly with plug together modules. MAX7. 91. 2 mounted on the back). Warning: This library will not work (. AS LED is oriented with rows. AS pinout) and. each display is aligned beside the other (see wiring diagram). This diagram shows what is going on: Max.

The display. intensity is slowly scaled up and down while random pixels are lit/unlit on the. It is based on code found here . I have deliberately left the code as a basic operational code without. This means, when enabled, that 7 segment display LEDs are correctly. BCD value. Note: A BCD number is just a binary. There are routines in most C libraries for operating with BCD values so you can. BCD number strings. The best thing about BCD is that it is easy to use within assembler or C. Since the MAX7. 21. BCD decode. mode you don't need to figure out a character set for controlling individual. LED patterns. For instance this would be useful when displaying numbers on a frequency. Note: BCD decode can be set- up for. So a possible use could be having a 4 digit display plus 3. LED outputs, or a 5 digit display with 2. LED outputs etc. Why Does a MAX7. Processing Time (MIPS)? The reason is that the display refresh operation is performed entirely. MAX7. 21. 9. In the frequency counter that you can find and make on this site. I used a direct drive method that performs exactly as the MAX7. The only difference is that all display refreshing is done within the. Note: Display refreshing also. LED light is. output) and that you cycle through all 8 data outputs so that ALL 7 segments. With the MAX 7. 21. Using the MAX7. 21. Using the MAX7. 21. V Arduinos. As you can see from the specifications above the high input voltage level is. The low input Vil is a standard level so. The 7. 21. 9 uses a fast SPI interface that can go at MHz frequencies and you.
