I have a rough idea on how to daisychain multiple max chips, but all my efforts tonight didn't seem to produce any result. Also, what changes to the code should i make to accomodate the extra chips? It's one for each layer of my 4x4x4 LED matrix i built a smaller one as a prototype. I've never used one, but glancing at the data sheet it looks as if you must send out data to all MAXs with every data transfer, sending data for the chip farthest from the CPU out first.
Daisy chaining in effect makes a single logical device that's a wider version of the original if that makes any sense. Of course, if you aren't planning on using more than a few devices you've got enough pins to wire each device individually and not mess with the daisy chaining, but I'm sure you already thought of that. Can I use that code to daisy-chain the chips? Anybody have any suggestions, I'm not very good with coding, or understanding exactly how the data should be arranged Also, does anyone have any interactive apps for the light matrix?
It's be interesting to see something like a music visualizer or maybe a game of pong, I'd code it myself but unfortunately my skills aren't up to scratch! I have a few laying around. I'll try very soon and see what I can do. Do they die mostly when they are all on, or at any rate? My first guess would be current, what are you using as power source? Do you have some capacitors near its power suply pins?
Something like. Just place a. I always design a ton of them into my circuits, as it makes for one less thing to worry about. Hi there! So I followed all your instructions but I don't understand some things about how to connects the components you said. For instance: Do I have to add a transistor for booth the Clock and the Load pin? Also, others attempting this might find this diagram useful.
Regards Alex. Hey Tomek, Can I use that code to daisy-chain the chips? Regards, Alex. If some of you could send me a little sketch of the circuit that would be really helpfull!!
