16x16 LED Matrix am Arduino UNO

In diesem Beitrag möchte ich dir erläutern, wie du eine 16x16 LED Matrix an den Arduino UNO anschließt und programmierst.

16x16 LED Matrix am Arduino UNO Die LED Matrix mit MAX7219 Treiberchip habe ich dir bereits in einigen Beiträgen vorgestellt, hier soll es nun speziell um die 16x16 Version gehen. - Arduino Projekt: Temperaturanzeige auf einer 8x8 LED Matrix - Arduino Lektion 8: Max7219 8x8 LED Shield Das hier verwende Modul verfügt über 4 Stück von 8x8 LED Matrix Modulen, welche im Quadrat angeordnet sind.

Bezug der 16x16 LED Matrix

Das mir vorliegende Modul habe ich recht günstig über aliexpress.com gekauft, die Lieferzeit war hier wie bei diesem Shop bekannt recht lange. Du bekommst dieses Modul aber auch auf ebay.de. Zu dem Zeitpunkt wo ich den Beitrag schreibe ist dieses Modul leider nicht auf ebay.de erhältlich, daher kann ich dir keinen genauen Preis nennen.

Anschluss des 16x16 LED Matrix Moduls an den Arduino

Bevor ich dieses Modul anschließen konnte, musste ich zunächst eine 5polige Stiftleiste an die Platine löten. Auf der Platine gibt es diverse Stellen, wo man theoretisch diese Stiftleiste anlöten könnte, ABER es gibt für diese nur eine richtige Position. Um diese richtige Position zu bestimmen, müssen wir nur schauen, wo auf der Platine ein Pfeil mit "IN" steht. Problem hierbei, das auf der linken Seite des Moduls zwei Anschlüsse mit "IN" gibt, in meinem Fall habe ich den oberen der beiden verwenden müssen. Die Pins der LED Matrix werden wie nachfolgend aufgeführt mit dem Arduino verbunden: 16x16 LED MatrixArduino UNOVCC5 VGNDGNDDIND11CSD7CLKD13

Anordnung der LED Matrix Module

In der nachfolgenden Grafik habe ich einmal die LED Matrix Module nummeriert. Diese Anordnung benötigen wir für die Programmierung der gesamten Matrix!

Programmieren der 16x16 LED Matrix in der Arduino IDE 2.0

Kommen wir nun dazu, diese LED Matrix in der neuen Arduino IDE 2.0 zu programmieren. Installieren der benötigten Bibliothek Für das Ansteuern der LED Matrix Module benötigen wir eine Bibliothek. Diese können wir recht einfach über den Bibliotheksverwalter der Arduino IDE installieren. Wir müssen lediglich nach "ledControl" suchen und gleich der erste Eintrag "LedControl by Eberhard Fahle" ist die korrekte, welche wir installieren.

Wenn diese Bibliothek installiert wurde, erscheint der kleine Hinweis "INSTALLED" und wir können mit der Programmierung beginnen.

Beispielprogramm

Nachfolgend möchte ich dir ein kleines Beispielprogramm zeigen. Die Arrays mit den Daten kannst du mit meinem 16x16 LED Matrix - Generator recht einfach erstellen und hast somit keine Mühe diese zu erstellen. //Bibliothek zum ansteuern der LED Matrix //mit MAX7219 Treiberchip #include //Anschluss der LED Matrix an den Arduino int DIN = 11; int CS = 7; int CLK = 13; //Initialisieren eines Objektes vom Typ //LedControl mit den Pins und der Anzahl 4 //für die angeschlossenen LED Matrix Module LedControl lc = LedControl(DIN, CLK, CS, 4); //Konstante mit den maximalen Zeilen pro LED Matrix const int MAX_ROWS = 8; //Arrays mit den Daten pro Zeile byte matrixModul1 = { B01000001, B10000001, B00000010, B00000010, B11100100, B00001000, B00110000, B11000000 }; byte matrixModul2 = { B10000010, B10000001, B01000000, B01000000, B00100111, B00010000, B00001100, B00000011 }; byte matrixModul3 = { B11000000, B00110000, B00011000, B00000100, B00110010, B00110010, B00000001, B00000001 }; byte matrixModul4 = { B00000011, B00001100, B00011000, B00100000, B01001100, B01001100, B10000000, B10000000 }; void setup() { lc.shutdown(0, false); lc.shutdown(1, false); lc.shutdown(2, false); lc.shutdown(3, false); //setzen der Lichtintensität der LEDs lc.setIntensity(0, 6); lc.setIntensity(1, 6); lc.setIntensity(2, 6); lc.setIntensity(3, 6); //leeren der LED Matrix Module lc.clearDisplay(0); lc.clearDisplay(1); lc.clearDisplay(2); lc.clearDisplay(3); } //Funktion zum aktivieren der LEDs an //einem LED Matrix Modul void drawLine(int matrix, byte data) { for (int row = 0; row < MAX_ROWS; row++) { lc.setRow(matrix, row, data); } } void loop() { drawLine(0, matrixModul1); drawLine(1, matrixModul2); drawLine(2, matrixModul3); drawLine(3, matrixModul4); delay(5000); lc.clearDisplay(0); lc.clearDisplay(1); lc.clearDisplay(2); lc.clearDisplay(3); } Read the full article

Display modules are widely used throughout the industry to show the data to the user or to give indication and warnings to the user. It makes the interface user friendly even if he is not of technical background and makes it easier for him to control the activity without the need of an expert. One main problem with LED displays is that they use many interfacing connections to connect with the microcontroller or development board you are using and thus it is left with shortage of pins to connect with other modules. This MAX7219 Dot Matrix Module LED display solves this problem the use of MAX7219 LED Display driver which converts the serial data coming from the microcontroller to the parallel data to the LED Matrix Module. Thus you can control all 64 LEDs by using just 3 pins on your microcontroller board. Also, this is a 4 in 1 dot matrix module which means it has four 8×8 LED display modules which is again only controlled by 3 connection wires. The data for each LED is stored in 8×8 RAM onboard and can be accessed individually.

Quote of the Week

In [other languages], I could end up chasing silly bugs and waste time debugging and tracing to find that I made a typo or ran into a language quirk that gave me an unexpected nil pointer. That situation is almost non-existent in Rust, it's just me and the problem. Rust is honest and upfront about its quirks and will yell at you about it before you have a hard to find bug in production.

Writing a python driver for the MAX7219 and finding slightly hidden features is a lot more interesting than this headline suggests.

Writing a python driver for the MAX7219 and finding slightly hidden features is a lot more interesting than this headline suggests.

This is the story about how I uncovered an undocumented or poorly documented chip feature to write a Python driver for a numeric display and used it on a Pi Pico W. If you just want the code – it is here. I’ve released it under the GNU GPL 3. The beginning I recently purchased two Hobby Components MAX7219 8 Digit Seven Segment Display Modules from Amazon.

Activity board: It's all about the code!

With the activity board controller finally in place and tested. It's time to throw together the actual firmware. Let's fire up VSCode!

VSCode has been my code editor of choice for quite a while now. Microsoft did a great job in developing a light weight but super powerful code editor. And with the advent of a PlatformIO VSCode extension, this makes for THE perfect Arduino IDE.

That being said, It's time to start working on the final firmware. Or actually: the final firmware for now. Because the Activity Board will probably be a project which will receive some (software) updates over time.

All the board's functionality will be seperated into a bunch of controllers. There is no particular reason why I called them controllers, It just sounds like I know what I'm doing. For now, the code consists of the following 5 controller classes:

InputController: Responsible for reading all the switch states by communicating with the MCP23017 over I2C.

SevenSegmentController: Controls the 7-segment display by communicating with the MAX7219 seven segment display.

NeopixelController: Controls all the WS2812B RGB-LEDs using the FastLED library.

LedController: Controls all the regular LEDs (incorporated in some of the buttons) using the Arduino GPIO pins.

CommunicationController: Sends JSON commands (like the buttons state updates) to a Raspberry Pi using the ArduinoJson library.

All of the controller classes have a setup() method which is called in the main.cpp setup routine, and most of the controllers have an update() method which is being called during the main run loop.

All of the update() methods are non blocking, to make sure the Activity Board stays responsive. Any necessary delays are implemented by using the elapsedMillis library. But every so often, I just simply count the update ticks to check if I need to do something.

if (tick++ % 100 == 0) { // do something every 100th cycle. }

Most of the controllers are pretty straight forward, and are just there as an easy to use wrapper for the respective libraries. The only controller that is a bit more exotic, is the InputController. To be honest, this controller gave me some headaches.

Don't interrupt me!

The MCP23017 I2C IO expander is capable of firing interrupts whenever one of the inputs changes. Because of this, I connected the two interrupt outputs of the MCP23017 to the Arduino interrupt pins (Pin 2 & 3). It turned out I only needed to connect one, since the MCP23017 can mirror the interrupt signal on both pins. Luckily this was just resulted in a redundant connection, and didn't caused any issues.

Unfortunately there was a bigger problem which I didn't forsee. While the MCP23017 is capable of triggering the Arduino's interrupt pin(s), I'm not able to read out the pin states in the interrupt service routines, since I2C uses interrupts itself, which aren't available in the interrupt service routines.

This means I can set a flag to request an update in the main loop, but I can never act on any input change in the service routine itself. Now for most of the inputs this is absolutely no problem, but for the rotary encoder I really need to check the state for both pin A and B. Now, if these two pins were both connected to the two different MCP23017 registers, I could have solved this with the two Arduino Interrupt pins. Or better yet. If I would have just connected the Rotary encoder directly to the Arduino's interrupt pins, it would have been even easier. But of course ... I didn't.

So after a lot of grumbling, I decided to give up on the interrupts for the rotary encoder (for now), and simply read out the MCP23017 data every run loop. I might mean the encoder wouldn't react as expected, but I could always make some hardware modifications later.

And with taking this easy route, reading the MCP23017 state was pretty straight forward, using Mizraith's fork of the Adafruit MCP23017 library:

// Initialize the library. Adafruit_MCP23017 mcp; // Configure the MCP23017. mcp.begin(); // Use default address 0. mcp.setGPIOABMode(0xFFFF); // All ports input. mcp.setGPIOABPullUp(0xFFFF); // All ports pull up. // Read out the 16 bits. unsigned int newState = mcp.readGPIOAB();

And then it turned out I spent way to much time in overthinking it. Since non of my other controllers is blocking the main run loop, fetching the current state up the buttons every loop is easily fast enough to handle any rotary encoder input. Once again, it turns out KISS is the best approach: Keep It Simple, Stupid!

And with that issue out the way, it was a matter of hooking up all the controllers in my main.cpp file. Whenever an input change, execute an action for that specific input.

This setup really enables me to easily add more actions to any of the buttons. Now and in the future.

And by sending any input change as a json object over the serial port, I can continue using the inputs in my future Raspberry Pi implementation.

For now, it just resulted in one awesome looking activity board with a lot of light effects!

Enjoy the show!

Now, if you are interested in all the fine detail of the code, you can check out the full source code on GitHub. Of course it's fully supplied with unit and integration tests (NOPE!). And it's fully and well documented (NOPE!). Check it it out in the ActivityBoardController repository!

Grove 8x8 LED Matrix am Arduino: Einsteigerfreundliche Programmieranleitung

In diesem Beitrag möchte ich dir zeigen, wie du die Grove 8x8 LED Matrix am Arduino UNO R3 programmierst. Der Vorteil von diesem Modul ist es, dass du keine umständliche Verkabelung vornehmen musst, da die Grove Schnittstelle einheitlich ist und ein vorkonfektioniertes Kabel verwendet wird.

Grove 8x8 LED Matrix am Arduino: Einsteigerfreundliche Programmieranleitung Im Beitrag Arduino Lektion 8: Max7219 8×8 LED Shield habe ich dir bereits ein ähnliches Modul mit dem Chip MAX7219 vorgestellt. Hier soll es nun um eine Matrix mit dem Treiber HT16K33 gehen.

Bezug einer 8x8 LED Matrix mit Grove Schnittstelle

Das mir vorliegende Modul habe ich auf ebay.de für rund 9 € zzgl. Versandkosten erstanden. Du bekommst dieses Modul aber etwas günstiger bei BerryBase für derzeit 8 € zzgl. Versandkosten. Lieferumfang Im Lieferumfang der LED Matrix ist neben der Matrix noch ein kleines Grove Kabel für den Anschluss, sowie ein Zettel mit den wichtigsten technischen Daten.

Auf der LED Matrix ist noch eine kleine Schutzfolie, welche du abziehen kannst, ich lasse diese jedoch drauf.

Aufbau der 8x8 LED Matrix

Auf der Rückseite findest du die Grove Schnittstelle, sowie zwei Lötpunkte für die optionale externe Stromversorgung. Des Weiteren kannst du die I2C Adresse 0x70 via 3 Lötbrücken ändern.

I2C Adressen via Lötbrücken Wenn du die Lötbrücken verbindest, dann kannst du diese Matrix über nachfolgende I2C Adressen ansteuern. Dabei kannst du auch mehrere Muster wählen und so zwischen 8 I2C Adressen auswählen. Verbundene PinsI2C Adresse-0x70A00x71A10x72A20x72A0 & A10x73A0 & A20x75A1 & A20x76A0, A1 & A20x77 Zur Ermittlung der I2C Adressen habe ich den I2C Scanner von https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/I2cScanner/ verwendet.

Zusätzliche Ressourcen für die Programmierung am Arduino

Damit du diese LED Matrix programmieren kannst, benötigst du entweder - ein Grove Adapterkabel, oder - ein Grove Base Shield für den Arduino UNO R3, oder - ein Seeeduino Nano

Grove Adapterkabel zu Breadboardpins

Grove Base Shield für den Arduino UNO R3

Seeeduino Nano Das Grove Base Shield hat mehrere Grove Buchsen digital & analog und somit bietet dieses eine sehr große Bandbreite an Möglichkeiten für Projekte. Wenn du lediglich die LED Matrix programmieren möchtest und du hast bereits einen Arduino Nano oder Arduino UNO dann

Programmieren der LED Matrix am Arduino via I2C

Damit die LED Matrix mit HT16K33 Treiber angesteuert werden kann, müssen wir in der Arduino IDE eine zusätzliche Bibliothek installieren. Diese können wir uns als ZIP-Datei vom GitHub Repository Seeed-Studio/Grove_LED_Matrix_Driver_HT16K33 herunterladen. Weitere Informationen zu diesem Modul findest du auf der englischen Wikiseite von Seeedstudio https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Grove-LED_Matrix_Driver-HT16K33/. Anzeigen eines Smileys auf der LED Matrix Für die Erstellung eines Smileys kannst du den LED Matrix Editor unter https://xantorohara.github.io/led-matrix-editor/ verwenden. Dieser Onlineeditor gibt dir die Möglichkeit, mit der Maus auf der LED Matrix einzelne LEDs zu aktivieren / deaktivieren.

LED Matrix Editor von Xantorohara Auf der rechten Seite findest du ein Stück Code, welchen du in dein Arduino Programm integrieren kannst. In meinem Fall habe ich ein lachendes Smiley gezeichnet und erhalte den Wert "0x3c4299a581a5423c". Die Bibliothek liefert zusätzlich ein paar Beispiele, welche mit der default I2C Adresse 0x70 lauffähig sind. Von diesen Beispielen wähle ich zunächst "displaycustom_pictures" und modifiziere dieses etwas. //Bibliotheken zum kommunizieren mit der LED Matrix #include #include "Grove_LED_Matrix_Driver_HT16K33.h" //Wert für ein lachenden Smiley const uint64_t smiley = 0x3c4299a581a5423c; //instanz einer LED Matrix Matrix_8x8 matrix; void setup() { //beginn der I2C kommunikation Wire.begin(); //beginn der kommunikation mit der LED Matrix matrix.init(); //setzen der Helligkeit der Matrix //Werte sind zwischen 0 und 15 //wobei 0 dunkel ist und 15 das hellste matrix.setBrightness(5); //In welcher Frequenz die LED Matrix blinken soll, //Werte sind: //- BLINK_OFF > kein blinken, //- BLINK_1HZ > langsames blinken, //- BLINK_2HZ > schnelles blinken, matrix.setBlinkRate(BLINK_OFF); } void loop() { //anzeigen eines Bildes matrix.writeOnePicture(smiley); //absenden der Daten matrix.display(); //eine Pause von 10 Sekunden delay(10000); } Auf der Matrix hat man natürlich nur begrenzte Möglichkeiten zur Darstellung von Bildern, jedoch für so kleine Smileys und Pfeile ist dieses bestens geeignet.

lachender Smiley auf der 8x8 LED Matrix Ausgabe von Scrolltext auf der LED Matrix Da wie erwähnt die kleine LED Matrix nur begrenzten Platz für Zeichen bietet, gibt es die Möglichkeit Text auf diesem durchscrollen zu lassen. void loop() { //Funktion zum anzeigen eines Textes auf der LED Matrix, //Parameter: //String - die Zeichenkette welche ausgegeben werden soll, //Zahl - Wert in Millisekunden pro Zeichen //Typ //ACTION_SHIFT - jedes Zeichen einzeln anzeigen, //ACTION_SCROLLING - den Text durch die Matrix scrollen lassen matrix.writeString("Hallo Welt!", 1000, ACTION_SCROLLING); matrix.display(); } Damit ich das Video aufnehmen konnte, sodass meine Kamera den Text erfasst, habe ich ein kleines Tuch vor die LED Matrix gehängt.

Ändern der default I2C Adresse im Programm

Wenn du bereits Sensoren oder Aktoren am I2C Bus angeschlossen hast, dann kann es vorkommen, dass die default I2C Adresse der LED Matrix bereits belegt ist und du diese im Programm überschreiben musst. (Oder auch, wenn du mehrere solcher Matrixen an einem I2C Bus anschließen möchtest.) Dazu findest du in der Funktion setup den Aufruf der Funktion "matrix.ini();". Diese Funktion kann einen Parameter vom Typ uint8_t übernehmen und hat als default den Wert des Feldes HT16K33_DEFAULT_I2C_ADDR. #define HT16K33_DEFAULT_I2C_ADDR 0x70 Wir übergeben also nun den Hexadezimalen Wert, welchen wir aus der Tabelle (siehe I2C Adressen via Lötbrücken) entnehmen können. Und brauchen quasi in unserem Programm nichts weiter anpassen. matrix.init(0x71);

Vergleich zwischen 8x8 LED Matrix - MAX7219 & HT16K33

Zum Schluss möchte ich dir noch gerne die Unterschiede zur LED Matrix mit dem MAX7219 Chip aufzeigen. Diese LED Matrix verfügt ebenso wie die vorgestellte Matrix über 8x8 LEDs und kann ebenso einfach programmiert werden.

8x8 LED Matrix mit HT16K33 Treiberchip

8x8 LED Matrix mit MAX7219 Treiberchip Jedoch kannst du diese Matrix zu mehreren zusammenstecken und so eine schier endlose Anzeige aufbauen.

MAX7219 Shields auf einem Stativ Die LED Matrix mit Grove Schnittstelle jedoch kannst du nicht so kaskadierend aufbauen und somit bist du mit dem Modul in deinen Möglichkeiten stärker beschränkt.

Fazit zur Programmierung der 8x8 LED Matrix mit Grove Schnittstelle am Arduino

Die LED Matrix von Seeedstudio mit Grove Schnittstelle und HT16K33 Treiberchip lässt sich super einfach programmieren. Du benötigst wenig Code und über die I2C Schnittstelle und dem Grovekabel hast du deutlich weniger Verkablung als bei der LED Matrix mit MAX7219, leider vermisse ich hier die Möglichkeit die Module kaskadierend zu verbinden und so ein langes Display für Laufschrift aufzubauen. Mit dem Online LED Matrix Editor kannst du dir jedoch recht einfach kleine Frames für die Matrix erstellen und in den Code kopieren. Ausblick Ich werde nun mal schauen, welche kleinen Projekte man mit dieser Matrix aufbauen kann. Jedoch würde ich eher zu einer RGB Matrix tendieren, denn diese kann bei gleicher Baugröße verschiedenfarbige Pixel anzeigen. Read the full article

The 8x8 Dot Matrix Display module consists of the 8x8 LED matrix display and the MAX7219 driver IC connected to it. It is very easy to interface with development boards like Arduino, Raspberry pi as 7219 IC uses only 3 pins to connect with your controller and drives all 64 LEDs in the module, thus saving the pins needed to connect all 64 LEDs.

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

A great week, with 170 primary benchmark scenarios seeing improvement. Every PR flagged by perf provided at least some wins, and perhaps more impressive: No rollup PR's were flagged by perf this week! Furthermore, cjgillot fixed an issue where incremental compilation was being unnecessarily hindered by our span and lint system. Great work everyone!

Triage done by @pnkfelix. Revision range: d9297d22..02cd79af

Interfacing a MAX7219 Driven LED Matrix with ATtiny85

Interfacing a MAX7219 Driven LED Matrix with ATtiny85

The MAX7219 controller is manufactured by Maxim Integrated is compact, serial input/output common-cathode display driver that could interface microcontrollers to 64 individual LEDs, 7-segment numeric LED displays of up to 8 digits, bar-graph displays, etc. Included on-chip are a BCD code-B decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, segment and digit drivers and an 8×8 static RAM that stores each digit.
