HOW TO SCROLL 8X8 LED |
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2002 6:53 am |

Please picstars
could assist me on how i could make this 5x7 led
display scroll the letter across the screen.
i have being trying for days now i can't seem to
do it i am pulling my hair out
Here is the code below
i found this at
<a href="http://www.blitzlogic.com/Matrix.htm" TARGET="_blank">http://www.blitzlogic.com/Matrix.htm</a>
and intead to use it to help me learning process
Thanks in advance
Isaac

Thank you very much mark
i am going to try them right now
i shall let you know the outcome

Mark,
Your example worked perfectly, and it has developed my
understanding of C programming.
i modified the program for an 8x8 Led using pic 16f873
the program scrolls the word hello acrsoss the display
it's perfect !!!
one more problem, when the program exits i tried to put
in a continous loop so that it starts again .
i use for (;;)& do-while but the program still would
not loop back.
am i doing something really bad here.
Thanks a million
Isaac
The program is attached below :
#if defined(__PCM__)
#include <16F873.H>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPUT,NOPROTECT,NOBROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7,RESTART_WDT,ERRORS)
//THIS IS ANOTHER PROGRAM CALLED SROLL2//
#byte port_a=5
#byte port_b=6
#byte port_c=7
char const pat[48]={0,255,255,24,24,255,255,0,0,255,255,219,219,195,195,0,
0,255,255,192,192,192,192,0,0,255,255,192,192,192,192,0,
0,60,126,195,195,126,60,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
// The table above should scroll 'HELLO' across the display//
// the 1st 8 values reps 'H' the next 8 reps 'E' etc //
main()
{
char cnt, cnt2, scrollcnt, col; //declare variables
set_tris_b(0); /* set port_b as outputs */
set_tris_c(0); /* set port_a as output */
//do
// {
start:
delay_ms(500);
port_b = 0; /* ZERO port_c & port_b */
port_c = 0;
scrollcnt = 0; /* set scrolcnt to zero */
cnt2 = 0;
while(1)
// Infinite loop to avoid run on code
{
col = 0b00000001; // The column that we are driving
++scrollcnt; // scrollcnt is used as a delay before we switch columns
if (scrollcnt == 25)
{

}
for(cnt = 0;cnt < 8;cnt++)
{
port_c = 0; // Turn off any previous data displayed
port_b = pat[cnt+cnt2]; // Setup the data to display
port_c = col; // Display the new data
delay_ms(1); // Give some delay before we output the next column
col<<=1; // Shitf bit 1 place left
}
}
// }while(1);
// the program works fine but i can't seem to be able to put it into

Perfert work mark.
It loops fine now.
you being a great,great help.
something that i wanted to get of my chest.
Why does the 7th column stay permanently ON during
the scroll process.
it only goes off after the last character'O'
is this a feature of the scroling method?
i can't thank you enough
Isaac

When you say 7th column, do you mean the last column? Are you numbering the columns 0-7 or 1-8? I am assuming that you did change from a 5x7 LED matrix to a 8x8 matrix.

Try the following to see if it helps with your problem. The last column is on a bit longer than the rest. This should take care of that.

My numbering are 1 - 8 and i am using an 8x8 led
This would mean RC6 on my pic as i am using a 16f873.
my table looks like this
RC0= COL1
RC1= COL2
RC2= COL3
RC3= COL4
RC4= COL5
RC5= COL6
RC6= COL7
RC7= COL8
i hope this gives you the picture
Isaac
from the above its col 7

Can you describe the problem in a little more detail? Are all eight LEDs in column 7 on the whole time? Does column 7 appear brighter than the rest? Does column 7 show incorrect data? What kind of circuit board are you using? Have you checked all the connections? Is there anything else on RC6?

Mark,
its was all my fault.
i was complied the wrong project in malab.
so each time i recomplied it wasn't making any
changes.
its work perfectly now, and all credits to you.
Honestly you have being so helpful (HATS OFF 4 U)
i am still studying the way the program works and
when i have taken it all in.
My next project would be to modified the example
to use the 74hc595 shift reg on portc for my columns.
to save myself a few pins.
i would let you know how i get on, just making the
hardware at this minute.
Thanks a million
Isaac

How many columns are you planning on driving. The more columns you drive, then dimmer the LEDs will get.
