Hello,
I am trying to use max7219 driver to drive 8 by 8 matrix using pic16f877.
I made a circuit in Proteus to simulate my program but nothing happened to the outputs of max7219.
This is my code

Is this a joke?
Please go to the data sheet of the MAX7219. What do you see under the heading "Serial-Addressing Modes"? |

How about just the main page:

Where is any of your code that talks to the MAX7219?!? _________________ Dazed and confused? I don't think so. Just "plain lost" will do. :D |

You need a driver for the Max7219. Look in the CCS Code Library forum
for this. Always search the code library and the regular forum for code
before asking for it. Usually, there is some sample code.

Shows you how 'brainwashed' people can get....
To me 'serial' meant 20mA current loops for TTY ( yes, ASR33 teletypes),then 'serial' meant 60mA loops for my remote energy control systems.
Nowadaze ,everyone figures a PC serial port is 'the' standard, although I've never figured out WHY xmt and rcv pins were swapped. Makes us old guys have to think when we make our cables up....
oh well....
soon 'serial' will just mean USB.......arrgh..... |
