NOTE: As noted in other videos that mention modifying the MAX72xx.h file for the different MAX72 modules, it should be noted that you no longer need to make the modification in the Parola/MAX72xx Library as noted. In the updated EXAMPLES there is now a line that reads: #define HARDWARE_TYPE MD_MAX72XX::PAROLA_HW And you can change the "PAROLA_HW" to the type of board/matrix you are using. For example I use the FC-16 boards so I changed the define to: #define HARDWARE_TYPE MD_MAX72XX::FC16_HW You can find the enum moduleType_t definition in the MD_MAX72xx.h file at around line # 265 to define which module you are using.
Whereas I appreciate the work Marco has put into these libraries. He could have provided a bit more info on how to use them. The functions you demonstrated were the very simple ones, but you skirted quickly over the other more complicated bits. They aren't simple to use. It would be nice to see in a bit more detail the complex functions, (scrolling in all directions and creating characters) without having to refer to the source code and working it out.
I had a problem finding the .h file to edit. I added to the library from the zipped file I downloaded from github. When the library was added, the files were unzipped and stored with other libraries I added. Mine was under my user name\AppData\localArduino15libraries. After that, it worked well. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video. I built a matrix from individual leds (44 columns by 7 rows) using 74HC595 shift registers for the rows and the columns. I would really love to use some of the animations that you have shown here for my sign. Do you think the Porola library could be adapted to work with the project that I built?
hi friend, i saw you video and i like that matrix, i brought led matrix but dont work like you, the text show it reverse ¿do you have idea to configuring it? thanks.
I noticed that float and double type variables don't work on the p.print. Int works though, what if I wanted to make a temperature sensor? It needs to have the numbers after the decimal to show accuracy. I do not want to round them and convert to int. What if I also want them scrolling from right to left? The output should be like this: Temp: 32 "C And it should be scrolling leftwards.
Sir, i want to ask when we connect this led matrix to arduino and then we connect them both with PC to upload program, does the matrix LED turns on automatically or not. In my case, when I'm connecting both the module with PC, some part of the LED turns on and some are off. This is my first project and i have very basic knowledge about electronic and nil about coding.
I have just one LED 8x8 matrix MAX7219. I tried the parameter MAX_DEVICES to 1, but it is not working. I also tried with 0, thinking that it counts from 0, but not success. Following the code, of Parola_print_test, I attached a little code to turn on and turn off some of the leds of the matrix, and it seems that it only runs that part of the entire code, not Parola code.
I have open MD_Max72xx.h file,But i'm failure to find this line "" USE_PAROLA_HW " Or this line "USE_FC16_HW" Rather I find "USE_LOCAL_FONT is set to 1 "Can you teach me how to do it ?
Hello sir,It dose not compile on my system,what must I do I built the 8×32 by myself with max7219 but it works on Arduino,but when I want to compile parola it doesn't work
I do not what is wrong when I download MD Parola from Github do not compile whit Arduino IDE made a error Please can you held to me thanks so much Eddy from WPB
Sir could you please tell me how could I contact Marco colli...Iam getting a problem with my 4 8*8 led matrix text scrolling ,my srolling text are limited to 1 frame ony

Thank you! That solved my problem.Easy Peasy
Thanks for setting the record straight!
No problem. Thanks for reaching out.
I realize I am kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?
@Ray Ibrahim i watch on Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Oliver Trent definitely, been using flixzone for months myself :)
@Oliver Trent thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!

very nice library
Thank you for the vijeo and the ave reference

How to make scrolling text that can be set in code and not serial port and change it in void loop
Hi, I am having trouble getting my max 7219 to work properly..
Any chance you can reach out to me?
Sir, i want to ask when we connect this led matrix to arduino and then we connect them both with PC to upload program, does the matrix LED turns on automatically or not. In my case, when I'm connecting both the module with PC, some part of the LED turns on and some are off. This is my first project and i have very basic knowledge about electronic and nil about coding.
Can this library be used for project where each led in max7219 module lights up depending on encorder rotation?
Hey! Could you provide a link to the code? Thanks.
This is a great example. How would you connect 3 or more of these modules?
You just connect them end to end and change the number of modules in the code.
I have just one LED 8x8 matrix MAX7219. I tried the parameter MAX_DEVICES to 1, but it is not working. I also tried with 0, thinking that it counts from 0, but not success.

You need change "PAROLA_HW" to "FC16_HW
I have open MD_Max72xx.h file,But i'm failure to find this line "" USE_PAROLA_HW " Or this line "USE_FC16_HW" Rather I find "USE_LOCAL_FONT is set to 1 "Can you teach me how to do it ?
Hello sir,It dose not compile on my system,what must I do
I built the 8×32 by myself with max7219 but it works on Arduino,but when I want to compile parola it doesn't work
Could you tell me how can i change font size,style?.can we give images?
I do not what is wrong when I download MD Parola from Github do not compile whit Arduino IDE made a error
Please can you held to me thanks so much Eddy from WPB
Will this work on the Nvidia Jetson?

ola amigo qual versao da IDE vc usa para esse codigo, ? quando eu compilo da erro, !! estou com a versao 1.6.8 obrigado
where is the code?
There is ant way to adjust the brightness of the led matrix in md parola software?
+Ioan Pelea Yes, github.com/MajicDesigns/MD_Parola
hello evrey bady i have problime whit the word in the matric it writ whit worng order some one help me
second link is wrong, points to an EDIT version...
thanks, should be fixed now
Still having same jumble word prob
I had a similar problem (with the older library) until I set the HARDWARE_TYPE to FC16_HW
ie:
#define HARDWARE_TYPE MD_MAX72XX::FC16_HW
how to conect bluetooth?
hi
is there any way of getting the code for the scrolling text program ?
It's just an example from the MDParola library.
program showing mirror image I tried this code
max 7219 I used 8*8 matrix
Sumit Tehalwani you may need to adjust the board type in .h header file. while all the boards look the same, the wiring is different.
more help please im getting upside down, and back to front.
Try setting HARDWARE_TYPE to FC16_HW
Like this:
#define HARDWARE_TYPE MD_MAX72XX::FC16_HW
Thanks! Ya gotta ditch that camera light though.
