4 months ago The sprit animation includes text, not just a sprite, so you will need to animate a " " (space).
You need to set up 2 zones, one for the graphics and one for the text. You can run each zone as per normal Parola animations. The Parola_Sprites_Library example shows how to run a sprite animation. Read https://arduinoplusplus.wordpress.com/2018/04/19/parola-a-to-z-sprite-text-effects/for more info.
If you truly want to mix text and graphics then it will be more complicated. See the example Parola_TG_Combo and the blog post https://arduinoplusplus.wordpress.com/2018/03/29/parola-a-to-z-mixing-text-and-graphics/,

Subject of the issue
I'm tring to combine text scroll with bitmap sprite animation in a single zone, I have a FC16_HW display ( 4 * 8x8 display), I would like to apply an animation text in 3 of those and in the last an bitmap sprite animation. By doc , it should be possible ( althought I didn't find this exact example): `
void MD_Parola::setSpriteData | ( | uint8_t | z, -- | -- | -- | -- | | const uint8_t * | inData, | | uint8_t | inWidth, | | uint8_t | inFrames, | | const uint8_t * | outData, | | uint8_t | outWidth, | | uint8_t`
Your Environment
Library Version: MD_Parola@^3.7.3 Arduino IDE version: I'm using VS CODE Host OS and Version: Windows 11 CPU Hardware model/type: ESP8266
Steps to Reproduce
This is my code: `#include
include
include
define HARDWARE_TYPE MD_MAX72XX::FC16_HW
define CS_PIN D8 // (GPIO15)
define MAX_DEVICES 4
// Hardware SPI connection MD_Parola P = MD_Parola(HARDWARE_TYPE, CS_PIN, MAX_DEVICES);
const char *message = "Right answer!"; // Scrolling text message
// Sprite Definitions const uint8_t F_HEART = 5; const uint8_t W_HEART = 9; const uint8_t PROGMEM heart[F_HEART * W_HEART] = // beating heart { 0x0e, 0x11, 0x21, 0x42, 0x84, 0x42, 0x21, 0x11, 0x0e, 0x0e, 0x1f, 0x33, 0x66, 0xcc, 0x66, 0x33, 0x1f, 0x0e, 0x0e, 0x1f, 0x3f, 0x7e, 0xfc, 0x7e, 0x3f, 0x1f, 0x0e, 0x0e, 0x1f, 0x33, 0x66, 0xcc, 0x66, 0x33, 0x1f, 0x0e, 0x0e, 0x11, 0x21, 0x42, 0x84, 0x42, 0x21, 0x11, 0x0e, };
void setup(void) { P.begin(); P.setZone(0, 1, 3); // Set up first 3 displays as Zone 0 P.setZone(1, 0 , 0); // Set up last display as Zone 1 P.displayZoneText(0, message, PA_CENTER, P.getSpeed()*5, P.getPause(), PA_SCROLL_LEFT, PA_SCROLL_LEFT); P.setSpriteData(1, heart, W_HEART, F_HEART, heart, W_HEART, F_HEART); // Set sprite data for Zone 1 P.displayAnimate(); }
void loop(void) { if (P.displayAnimate()) // animates and returns true when an animation is completed { P.displayReset(0); // Reset the text animation in Zone 0 P.displayReset(1); // Reset the bitmap animation in Zone 1 } } `
Expected Behaviour
It should print the text in the first 3 display: " Right answer!" and a heart sprite bitmap on the last display
Actual Behaviour
The text " Right answer!" are being 'printed' but the sprite nop
