Arduino Project 021 - LED Dot Matrix Display - Scrolling Message

RonWang2个月前 (10-08)电子编程94

There are many different ways to drive LEDs. Using shift registers is one way and they have their advantages. However, there are lots of ICs available that are specifically designed to drive LED displays and make life a lot easier for you. One of the most popular LED Driver ICs in the Arduino community is the MAX7219 serial interfaced, 8-digit LED Display Driver chips made by Maxim. These chips are designed to control 7-segment numeric LED displays of up to 8 digits, bar graph displays, or 88 LED dot matrix displays, which is what you will be using them for. The Arduino IDE comes with a library called Matrix plus some example code that was specifically written for the MAX7219 chips. Using this library will make using these chips a breeze. However, in this project you are not going to use any external libraries. Instead, you are going to do things the hard way and write every piece of code yourself. That way, you will learn exactly how the MAX7219 chip works, and you can transfer these skills to utilizing any other LED driver chip you wish.

You will need a MAX7219 LED Driver IC. Alternatively, you can use an Austria Microsystems AS1107, which is pretty much identical to the MAX7219 and will work with no changes to your code or circuit. The 88 dot matrix display needs to be of the Common Cathode variety this time as the MAX chip will not work with a Common Anode display.
