128x64 Single Panel questions #1138

Open CuriousJames opened 3 years ago

CuriousJames commented 3 years ago

Hello, I bought this 128x64 px panel: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000029775879.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.ccd14c4dqOTCrY

I see there is a special pin for 64x64, I assume I'll need to use that, but is there another pin for 128? Or is this more than can be handled with this library?

Lastly are you able to tell me the connector name for the data connection to these pannels please so that I can look to buy one for any PCB design I might make in the future. I'm not sure if it would have a special name on account of the notch, never ordered a notched PCB header before.

Thanks for making this library btw!

Found the connector name btw 16way IDC header

Also I noticed it says 'HUB-75E' instead of the 'HUB-75' I've seen on images on this project, I'm guessing the 'E' is just indicative of that extra pin? As opposed to it being a newer (enhanced) protocol?

Thanks!

So it is possible to control this with your library? Fantastic! I'll recheck where it says what RPI I should use for chain 1 E pin as I didn't catch that, and did you say it would have a second clock? Does that need to go to the same pin as the first clock on the pi?

The seller is going to send me a pinout soon so I'll be able to get this going, my smaller one already works really well!

James.
