Problem with psoc cy8ckit 042 and Adafruit rgb led matrix panel 16x32

sebi1991

I bought an Adafruit rgb led matrix panel 16x32 . I have made  wiring in same way that here : learn.adafruit.com/32x16-32x32-rgb-led-matrix/wiring-the-32x32-matrix .

   I used this application in Psoc Creator 3.0 from this : www.element14.com/community/message/84683/l/psoc-4-pioneer-kit-community-project060 . It is work to load data in psoc and run with Processing application some picture and appling some effects .

   I want some advices, please help me if you can, how to write some text on the led matrix panel(i try with printf but doesn't work) and how to do some animation ,it is possible to do this without  the processing application ?

     I tried to import libraries from adafruit learning system(RGBMatrixPanel library and Adafruit_GFX library, they are in the first link  )  but i don't have success (it is possible to use c++ code on psoc microcontroller? 

      Thank you very much.

 

Best regards,

Seby

    Hi Sebastian,

    A simpler approach is to use WS2812B based LEDs as this greatly simplifies the project.

     

    Getting the WS2812B LEDs working with a PSoC Pioneer Kit is a doddle.

    For proof have a look at my Smarter Life Challenge blog article series where I am driving 3,072 LEDs.

     

    Rather than jump in the deep end and expecting everything to work immediately, I suggest that you start with the basics.

    Get one LED working before getting all of them to work.

     

    If using 5V to power the WS2812Bs - Make sure the VDD power for the PSoC is set to 5V.

    If using 4.3 to power the WS2812Bs - Set the VDD power for the PSoC to 3.3V.

     

    To use the WS2812B component download the example code from Project #100. I know this works with PSoC Creator 3.0.

     

    I have also created a LED ring made from WS2812B components. This too was derived from Project #100.

     

    I hope this helps.

     

    Just holler for more information.

     

    Very Compact
