Scrolling Message in LED Display with 8051?? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
2 separate problems | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
the simple way | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
didnot get you | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Standard circular buffer | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Thanks | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Flickering in scrolling | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Clip to viewport | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Testing on 8x8 display. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Write fastest loop and count instructions | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Any other suggestions | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
yes and no | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Frankly speaking | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
time, time, time | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
You should investigate old-style monochrome video adapters | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
but pretty close | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
not wishing to start a debate ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
pixel rate | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, that's true, but it's irrelevant | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Persistence matters, and algorithm | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I believe there's a difference in approach here | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Shift registers to drive rows, not columns. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
...which is why they don'tfit this sort of application | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Think about pulse quota when multiplexing | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, the multiplexing affects ultimate brightness ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
never heard of 2 lines??? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, but most people can only read one at a time | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
16 pix | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It's news to me ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Good with forums | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Do you mean a REGISTERED shift register? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Absolutely! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
never seen one | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
That's the answer i was looking for... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
one can change the colour on an LED | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
a monochrome display has one LED per pixel | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It is seldom so simple as one would like | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I too read 8x8 as pixels/LEDs. However, probelm with scroll | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Please leave that CRT | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
But we area focused | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Chequebook time! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
You haven't told us anything useable! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |

Quoting Andy on this | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
re the rating of "Quoting Andy on this" | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
LOL | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It was me, Per... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Feedback | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I agree with you in all points, but... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I agree, Kai --- in most cases ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Kick-starting threads do require some form of pushing | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
That will be UGLY | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Not necessarily... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
That is not ALL the information. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Looked at circular buffer yet? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Has anyone looked at Allegro? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
A specific chip for the shift-register solution | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Think about total power loss | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
you tell me | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
the A6833 and similar offerings | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Code, problem, information and schematic. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
BU4094 is fast enough, but... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
look at 74HC595 | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, and not to forget the 74HC4094... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
and 80 resistors | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Mickey Mousing?? Availibility! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
my absolute impression ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Almost total silence | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
?? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
How to activate Aamir? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I don't want to activate Aamir! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, most comments here are free-running without the OP | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Maybe the wrong sorts of questions were asked | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Let's see what the O/P wants to do | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
with the amount of effort the OP shows .... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
What you have failed to consider ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
did you read | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, I did! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
And my absolute impression is... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
why should I do that? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I have to agree | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
What does it cost? How many would be needed? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Exactly! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
ST2221 EQUIVALENT | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It's not widely available in the developing world | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Max power loss at high ambient temperatures | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Interesting point ... but ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
8- or 16-bit drivers for different applications | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
because | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Is this a chicken and egg sort of question? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Different chips for different problems | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
no, applea and oranges | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Isn't that a design parameter? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Physics and practical realities | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
In some cases, perhaps LED's are not the right technology | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
and what does all that to do with .... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
They have to remain within specified limits. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Still missing muxed concept | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
No ... I'm not missing the concept ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
yes you are | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
You're thinking too narrowly, methinks. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
no, you are muddling | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It's just another way to manage a big sign | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
not so, back at ya | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
PWM or shorter on times. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
There's more than one way to skin a cat | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Start producing signs. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Those arguments are weak! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
not for those that have an inkling of understanding | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
So ... how fast can you clock 'em? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
if you had read and not muddled.... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Not Bad ! That IS a lot more reasonable! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
why on earth would you want to do that | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
If a little bit is good, sometimes more is better ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
you might, I wouldn't | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I can envision such a thing ... but I don't build signs | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I feel the need to SHOUT | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Time to get back to scrolling | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
as long as the CC drives one pixel | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Don't everyone love a DC-driven sign? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
In the interest of discussion ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
get your head out of your .... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
consider ALL the alternatives ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Inkling? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It comes down to why this is being discussed | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Where is the progress? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Robert Erlacher ?? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Oops | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Let's leave irrelevant issues out ... for now | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Quote examples | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
No citation needed! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
... about that schematic ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Still thinking single diode | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It doesn't HAVE to be done in a conventional granularity | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I do not think so | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
One other thing ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
THAT IS what PWM does | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
For that, you don't need dedicated hardware | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
never said so | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Give the customer value while making money | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
A lot of intersting issues have been forced to the surface | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Go for KISS | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
fruit salad | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Not exactly ... I think you're ignoring the point | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
this is where you are confoosed | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
There's nothing confusing about the procedure | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
NO, NO, NO | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, non-mpx is probably easier ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Resistor on varying-current side? Hot, hot, hot | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Please forget CRT | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
why this complex, why so enamored by darlingtons? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Of course, your Allegro thingis would perfectly fit... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
not the transistors, the ULN in the columns | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Back to square one. First experiment with fast output | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Power is not Sufficient | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Semi-correct | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Sorry guys | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Switch statement | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
ULN2803 ???? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
WHY????? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
The 2803's OK ... with a current source Anode driver | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, unless high cathode currents... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
If he's sinking current from, at most, 16 cathodes ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Not 16 at a time. 0 or 1 for column. 0..80 for row | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I got it from the O/P's first post | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
But you don't do 80:1 | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I couldn't have said it better myself! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Code hang-ups... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Watchdog is nice | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
not a 'bright' idea | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, muxed displays requires high currents to not be dim | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
which varies by a factor of 1:80 | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It's not dirt-simple, but it's not rocket-science, either | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
first/second???? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
evidently it is | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I just came to think of this quiz | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Happy three months | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It didnot work for me again..... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
are you familiar with Ohms law | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Write test-code for driving the diodes | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I'm afraid to tell you,... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Don't shift so much | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, he must shift byte-wise... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
The alternative... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Try this, Aamir... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Thanks Sir....... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I knew someone would do his work for him! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, and it was fun! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, of course ... but they were far too complex | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I'm really sorry that they were "far too complex"... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
one step at a time | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
All many of these guys want is someone to do their work | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Big-bang | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Lessons learned | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Lessons... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
the difference | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
He learns and learns and learns... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
that would be true | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
That's the point... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
show me one | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Only feedback tells where the correct level is | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Knowledge is still the morst valuable gift | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
You really never had a look at something bigger?? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Read what I write, not what you want me to write | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Sorry, Per, but... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Atleast give OP some time | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
male cow manure | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
This guy is a STUDENT! And probably a lazy one. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Poor... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It should be a career-ender | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Ignorance is bliss? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Is this a Social Work forum? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Is this a Social Work forum? - no | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
ethical behaviour | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Good elbows... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Some people are just lazy, and think they're entitled. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Robots has no feelings | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Where do you put the limit? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Its not the point | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Prove your point! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
point of disagreement ? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Teflon-avoidance of arguments | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
back to the old one | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
There must be a willingness to do the work! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
a nasty thought | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
by silence the OP has admitted | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
He has admitted?? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
it is a known fact that | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Do you think, that I aggree if I don't reply... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
yes, IF | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It may not have been in this thread | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Plain bogus... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
School projects always problematic | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
This is a recurring theme | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Regular on Keil too | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Well, too many components | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I was looking for a product I could buy, not a work-product. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
And still stuck on the basics | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
This one's not too costly! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Nice one | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
facts | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Silence talks... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
It's because the due-date of his assignment has passed | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
No the OP, but the two drive-by-shooters | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
For Per Westermark | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
"Drive-by-shooters"? Are you cuckoo?? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I think that was the basic problem | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, and as we do not know the state of knowledge... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Once more you focus on bowing and other nonsense | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Do you feel better now?? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Why? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Answers... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Try looking from the other direction | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Forum rules... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Constant misunderstandings, or kicking in open doors | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
bow? no, but questions should be answered. | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
but we do | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Making mistakes and confusing things... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Missing help? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Why do you all the time interfere in... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
When we ask an O/P a question ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
But that's it, Richard! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
You're right, Kai, but not in the way that you might think | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Can't see "not helped" | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I'm tired, Per... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Weapons down Kai :) | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
we all are | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
we all are - | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
So enumerate the factual errors then | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
You were wrong | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I wish that someday ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I wish that someday ... Is that so | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
And your argument was? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Example | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Just curious | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
No reverse way just wanted to show | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
assisted != having others to do the job | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
From this at least it dosent make | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Come on, now, Ap Charles ... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Have you read what Aamir wrote? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes, it looks like part of the assignment spec | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Assignment specs? Hardly... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I guess we see different things in the quoted post | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
These are good arguments... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
We'll never know for certain | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
switch not the big problem | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Direct and Indirect calls | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Size of feet? | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
I can see your point | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Probably yet another language problem | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
The O/P has a part to play, as do we of 8052.COM | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Yes | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Oh dear, Per, please... | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
In the eye of the beholder | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Sorry, I didn't want to hurt you! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
again, it is obvious | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
Not big-bang solution, but snippet of code! | | 01/01/70 00:00 |
