Can't Connect #11

Hi there, I believe I must be missing something important. I am attempting to run a 32x64 matrix using the Adafruit HAT and controlling them with LEDLab. The software runs well on the Pi and is discovered on my iPad, but I cannot seem to get any sort of display. I'd sincerely appreciate any advice you may have.

Thanks so much.

Did you change matrix/lib/Makefile to change the pinout for your Adafruit HAT ?

Cheers, Henner.

Thanks so much.

Hi Henner,

I did. Do I have to run the MAKE command once again after I make changes to the Makefile? Please forgive my linux noobness.

Thanks, Damon

yes. To be sure, go to the matrix directory, edit the lib/Makefile and then recompile.

cd matrix vi lib/Makefile # or whatever editor you use make clean make cd .. make pixel-push

(not all steps are really needed, but this makes it very explicit).

I plan to revise this soon that things are a little more simple, but this would be the way now.

Thank you again Henner!

Henner, thank you for helping me out, it works great now! Connected instantly.

The only issue I have is a little lag/slow refresh. Are there ways I can improve the speed?

You can increase the UDP packet size (it is a commandline option), that allows to send more content per packet. From Processing, you can go all the way to the maximum, but if you send from iOS, you are limited to 8192 or so.
