Notes

Testing LEAP#299 TheMatrix - Boldport Club Project #11 - with the LRAS1130 Arduino library from @luckyresistor.

I’m using a version of the LedTest.ino script.

Visual Result

In the initial test I found two LEDs that needed a connection fix:

After fixing those LEDs, all are performing correctly. However note the intensity of a few LEDs is not the same as others. As far as I can tell, it may be a problem with the LEDs themselves.

Test Output

The Matrix is laid out in a 5x24 matrix as described in the datasheet (Figure 54). This means the LED addresses A thu F are not populated i.e. only 10 out of every 16 LED addresses are used.

For the LEDs that are populated, the test script says they are all OK:

This page is a web-friendly rendering of my project notes shared in the LEAP GitHub repository.

LEAP is just my personal collection of projects, usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting (IMHO!).

The projects are usually inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the sources such as:

Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know. See the individual projects for credits where due. There are even now a few projects contributed by others - send your own over in a pull request if you would also like to add to this collection.
