Add support for panels with FM6126A chipset. Copied from SmartMat… #52

Closed colorama closed 1 year ago

Not sure if anyone needs it, but I have a bunch of these panels and now they work. Yay. The fix adds one function - copied from SmartMatrix. Have not tested with 'normal' panels - I don't have any. Might need to make this into an 'option'.

Perhaps #define for loops is not awesome - feel free to change ;-)

Also... I obviously have no idea what this code does - things like hardcoded maxLeds and the various offsets, etc w/o comments are not great. Regrettably, I don't have time to investigate further.

Howdy. OK, startup/reset is simplified a bit, code’s in main branch but NOT Arduino lib manager yet. If you could check on the FM panels you have, and confirm whether it still works there, I’ll bump the version # which should send it out. Thx!

Pulled master and verified with Arduino - FM panels and "classic". All good 👍🏻

Related question: tried to verify with circuit python, so I pulled master of circuitpython and tried building for matrIxportal_m4 with: make BOARD=matrixportal_m4

After copying the firmware to the board (cp firmware.uf2 /Volumes/MATRIXPORTAL), the board reboots, but does not mount as CIRCUITPY.

Any pointers? Thanks!

Woot, thanks.

Not sure what’s up with CircuitPython. Is this an artifact of the matrix code changes, or does this happen even with the prior code?

colorama commented 1 year ago

Yeah, that's with TOT code. I'll try pulling an earlier tag.

Possibly related: changes were recently made for ESP-IDF 5.0.

Same difference with 7.3.3. I must be doing something wrong. Just following instructions here: https://learn.adafruit.com/building-circuitpython/build-circuitpython

Probably not you. CircuitPython’s a bit beyond me, but you can try asking in the forums.
