 		 #171942 - Reading back the parallel outputs then?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik said:
The question as I understand it is "what is in the LED drivers"...

But why should there be any doubt, when the micro sits nearby and feeds the LED driver??

And how should this help then?

Mahmood said:
I had one thought to clock the data into shift registers 5 times then read back the data, if the last 4 times data was correct then there is a good probability that the fifth one is correct, then accept it, otherwise clock the data five times more. But this approach doesn't guarantee that the displayed data is correct.


Because automatically refreshing the display every second, or so, might result in undesired flickering, I would try to directly read back the parallel outputs of LED drivers, if he cannot trust the serial clocking scheme.

                                                                     the problem here is            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        It seems they can be hooked together...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           Look at this too...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                              Ok, then show me ...            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                                    well, what is this then?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       Question for Mahmod            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                                       Why from the same chip???            01/01/70 00:00

                                 All the filter is supposed to do is limit the slew rate            01/01/70 00:00

                                          Maybe later on            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Yes, that's true, but his worry was about his clocking            01/01/70 00:00
