 -1 Overrated		 #162467 - Doesn't add up
Responding to: ???'s previous message
But if the hw already exists, then you don't need to spend time here about how to control the LED matrix - just fix the serial port to interface with a PC. The serial interface does not need to know the drive current to the LEDs, or what decoupling/driver chips that was used. All you need to know is allowed timiing requirements for the multiplexing, in case you modify the code - just to make sure that you don't fry multiplexed diodes by turning on a single scanline for too long (in case the drive current is pulsed at higher currents than the LEDs can handle continuously).

All your questions in this thread implies that you are responsible for a project where you need to drive a LED matrix.

Somehow what you say do not add up.

Help Needed:8051 and BDX54C            01/01/70 00:00      
   Draw it!            01/01/70 00:00      
      How to post a schematic            01/01/70 00:00      
   Reply to Aamir            01/01/70 00:00      
      SPDT switch?            01/01/70 00:00      
   the schematic            01/01/70 00:00      
      ground that emitter            01/01/70 00:00      
      PNP versus NPN            01/01/70 00:00      
         Basic electronics            01/01/70 00:00      
      See if this helps...            01/01/70 00:00      
         the circuit to the left is always on            01/01/70 00:00      
            woops...            01/01/70 00:00      
               so then            01/01/70 00:00      
                  you have options...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  no answer till ...            01/01/70 00:00      
            burning a hole...            01/01/70 00:00      
               Be cool!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  gimme, gimme            01/01/70 00:00      
                  proper current to LEDs.            01/01/70 00:00      
   The only way to use the BDX54C...            01/01/70 00:00      
      LED current - sweeping generalisation            01/01/70 00:00      
      Please explain            01/01/70 00:00      
         Just imagine how this high LED current...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Hence the reason...            01/01/70 00:00      
               I do not think so            01/01/70 00:00      
                  His "please explain" thread proves...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     cant u?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        You need to provide            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Do you mean this?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Thanks Sir KAi            01/01/70 00:00      
                              10K SPI            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Meaning of "SIP"            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    A 10K SIP Indeed !!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       How it works??            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Short for what            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Look again - and think!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       so, what he has used?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Why more schematics?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             But            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                10k SIP do not connect anything. They add something!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   what for 8051            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      do you EVER bother to read the docs before asking questions            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         Back to basics            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      Yes, you will            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                RE: how those eight data lines are connected ?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             But            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                as seen on the schematic            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             Not all SIL resistor packs are the same!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                Yes, more than one type of SIL network            01/01/70 00:00      
                              looks exactly like what I would suggest            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Both, but take care...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 what you think about this?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Post link            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       No no            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Doesn't add up            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Depends...            01/01/70 00:00      
                              it wont worked....            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Still Doesn't add up!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Then you have done something wrong!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    experimenting "wildly" ....            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Basic electronics            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    You are right...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Actually            01/01/70 00:00      
      Please explain            01/01/70 00:00
