Mirroring appear on the 8 LED matrix #131

Open mikekgr opened 4 years ago

mikekgr commented 4 years ago

Dear Sirs, I bought 8 LED matrix ( in 3 blocks: 3 + 3 + 2 ) from this supplier: https://www.electrodragon.com/product/dot-matrix-chain-display-kit-max7219-v2/ Following the documentation, I connected my ESP8266 WEMOS the 3 signals plus power, to the input of the LED matrix that I mentioned above. Despite my many tries, the best I can do is what the following video shows: https://photos.app.goo.gl/X9wCdc9r1VW2e9Lp8 Using the: int ledRotation = 1; at settings.h

Can someone to help me please ? As far as I can tell the using library: https://github.com/markruys/arduino-Max72xxPanel seems not to handle well my LED matrix... If this is an unavoided obstacle, can we use for this project the Bellow library that is working fine with my LED matrix? https://github.com/MajicDesigns/MD_Parola

By the way, I like this project very much and I would like to congratulate the owner of this project.

Thanks and Best Regards, Mike Kranidis

Dear @xtianpaiva , again thanks for your help try. I did what you suggested but the result is not the desired. There is not improvement unfortunately, still in "mirror mode". And this can be done only using: int ledRotation =1; @ Settings.h Please see the New video using your patching but with ledRotation=1 https://photos.app.goo.gl/nyfifjroJLDJKpCS7 If you need, I can make a new video using the default ledRotation =3

Best Regards, Mike Kranidis
