(Solved)Again problem with matrix, this time 8x32

[fezder]

if it works, I'v never used, so dont know how,do know a bit about i2c, what is part number?
isnt external used with watch battery so it doesnt forget the time?
might be a good idea!

ds1307 is what I use, needs only battery & crystal, I set time manually as automatic is 30 seconds off even if taken from computer...

[Dr_Doggy]

it would be interesting to see how option 2 impacts with overlays. (will fix in code next time)
much like the font encoder used here, i used GUI 's to encode , one string writer i did would take a bitmap image and convert to pixel strings for LCD screen(no Animation). the other was for CUBE which encoded frame by frame plus delay time for each.

is it wired up already on i2c, which pins?
if on I2C pins you could use i2c.h, which would be proper , but then i would become more spectator here! but better for professionalism!
OR*
I could bump out something that would basically work, customize-able to any I/O pin!

using this device we won't need more interrupts, looks simple enough

 

[fezder]

I don't have it hooked up yet, it uses A4 and A5, which are hardware i2c pins
this I've used to set time:
https://www.instructables.com/id/Setting-the-DS1307-Real-Time-Clock-using-the-Seria/

 

[Dr_Doggy]

oh! very nice, yes, that code would be easy to integrate

.... except you may want to rewire shift register clock pin, hope you are on breadboard still!

 

[fezder]

Why would I need to switch clock pin for shift register? shift registers use digital pins 2,3,4 and RTC uses A4,A5

 

[Dr_Doggy]

oh! they are different, ok then green lights!

 

[Dr_Doggy]

K, lets give it a try!
note* it will take a bit longer to boot up , since RTC holds for the first 12 seconds to allow for programming, it will thank-you in terminal after boot delay

also change this in fontmap.h , note that it is to replace line 58.... 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x6C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, // 58 :

thats ok , dont need , just mistook that those pins were different. also we dont need day month year rite? will delete that to help mem, also did you say 12 hr clock or 24?

Ah, of course! 24 hrs clock preferably
96% RAM used now with that code, whined about possible stability problems....
But, it's stable, all leds lit, all the time, no flicker :/
was thinking of hooking teensy but gnd pin is not at same place as pro mini's, unless used from breadboard/similar gizmo hacks.

what errors on tiny?

Same screen as earlier, no change.
Errors on teensy 3.2: (not that much thankfully)

[Dr_Doggy]

it looks like it just uses interrupt differently,

as for other problem, should be getting more on display after 5-10seconds, try connecting to serial port , see if you can still program the time ....

Hmm, nothing is changed when using serial monitor, doesn't even read anything on serial monitor. Odd.
