Marxon Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Hi Midiboxers! Thorsten's Midibox NG can be a little beast in terms of complexity for me ;) It would be great if someone can help me. I like to equip my Midibox NG with 16 8-segment led bars. Each bar should be controlled with a separate received CC event like this way: CC value = 0 -> all bar segments off CC value = 64 -> bar segment 1,2,3,4 on CC value = 127 -> all bar segments on Due to the conditions of my box, I decided to divide them into two 4x16 matrices (one column = 2x8-led bars) Every matrix is driven by 3 DOUT-SRs. Matrix 1 SR1 D7 - D0 are connected to the anodes of LED Bar 1, 3, 5, 7 (column 1-8) SR2 D7 is connected to all cathodes of bar 1, 2 (row 1) SR2 D6 is connected to all cathodes of bar 3, 4 (row 2) SR2 D5 is connected to all cathodes of bar 5, 6 (row 3) SR2 D4 is connected to all cathodes of bar 7, 8 (row 4) SR3 D7 - D0 are connected to the anodes of LED Bar 2, 4, 6, 8 (column 9-16) ... But now i am confused how to control the led bars independently via CCs because they are parts of led matrix columns. Led matrix patterns? Each led separately with emu_led_offset? Range mapping? Thanks for any suggestions! Best regards Marxon Edited November 29, 2013 by Marxon Quote
TK. Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 This example shows how to control several LED digit clusters via CC: -> http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fcontrollers%2Fmidibox_ng_v1%2Fcfg%2Ftests%2Fleddig1.ngc Does this help? Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
Marxon Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Posted November 30, 2013 There is nothing more to say! I mistakenly missed out the LED Digit topic and thought to have no usecase for it. Thank you Thorsten. Marxon Quote
Marxon Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) There is nothing more to say! I mistakenly missed out the LED Digit topic and thought to have no usecase for it. Thank you Thorsten. Marxon This was probably a little bit hasty... The LED Digit example does not clarify the issue because it is a pair of 8x8 matrices. I have made a sketch to explain what my problem is. How can i control led bar 1 with a CC and led bar 2 with another one although they are in the same column? I tried to assign two diffewrent patterns but as expected they interrupt each other. DOUT_MATRIX n=1 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=3 sr_dout_sel1=4 sr_dout_r2=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=2 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=6 sr_dout_sel1=7 sr_dout_r2=8 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=1 led_matrix_pattern=1 fwd_to_lcd=1 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 1 lcd_pos=1:1:2 label="1:%3d%B" EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=2 led_matrix_pattern=2 fwd_to_lcd=1 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 2 lcd_pos=1:1:2 label="1:%3d%B" LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 0 pattern=0000000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 1 pattern=1000000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 2 pattern=1000000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 3 pattern=1100000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 4 pattern=1110000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 5 pattern=1110000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 6 pattern=1111000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 7 pattern=1111000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 8 pattern=1111100000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos= 9 pattern=1111100000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos=10 pattern=1111110000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos=11 pattern=1111110000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos=12 pattern=1111111000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos=13 pattern=1111111000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos=14 pattern=1111111100000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1 pos=15 pattern=1111111100000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 0 pattern=0000000000000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 1 pattern=0000000010000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 2 pattern=0000000010000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 3 pattern=0000000011000000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 4 pattern=0000000011100000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 5 pattern=0000000011100000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 6 pattern=0000000011110000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 7 pattern=0000000011110000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 8 pattern=0000000011111000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos= 9 pattern=0000000011111000 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos=10 pattern=0000000011111100 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos=11 pattern=0000000011111100 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos=12 pattern=0000000011111110 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos=13 pattern=0000000011111110 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos=14 pattern=0000000011111111 LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 2 pos=15 pattern=0000000011111111 Edited November 30, 2013 by Marxon Quote
TK. Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Ah! Sorry, I picked up the wrong example. This is a better one: http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fcontrollers%2Fmidibox_ng_v1%2Fcfg%2Ftests%2Ftpd.ngc (it tests the TPD, which consists of two 8x8 duo-LED matrices, driven by DOUT_MATRIX n=2 and n=3) As you can see, each DOUT_MATRIX has 16 EVENT_LED_MATRIX entries, regardless of the number of rows. In order to ensure individual access, I would propose to define 4 DOUT_MATRIX items: /edit: corrected DOUT_MATRIX assignments. DOUT_MATRIX n=1 rows=4 sr_dout_sel1=4 sr_dout_r1=3 DOUT_MATRIX n=2 rows=4 sr_dout_sel1=4 sr_dout_r1=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=3 rows=4 sr_dout_sel1=7 sr_dout_r1=6 DOUT_MATRIX n=4 rows=4 sr_dout_sel1=7 sr_dout_r1=8 you should be able to control the LED bars with: EVENT_LED_MATRIX id= 1 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 16 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id= 2 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 17 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id= 3 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 18 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id= 4 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 19 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=17 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 20 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=18 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 21 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=19 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 22 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=20 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 23 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=33 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 24 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=34 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 25 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=35 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 26 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=36 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 27 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=49 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 28 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=50 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 29 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=51 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 30 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=52 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 31 led_matrix_pattern=1 Best Regards, Thorsten.

Marxon Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Hi Thorsten, unfortunately your Code DOUT_MATRIX n=1 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=3 sr_dout_r2=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=2 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=4 sr_dout_r2=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=1 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=6 sr_dout_r2=8 DOUT_MATRIX n=2 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=7 sr_dout_r2=8 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id= 1 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 16 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id= 2 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 17 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id= 3 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 18 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id= 4 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 19 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=17 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 20 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=18 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 21 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=19 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 22 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=20 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 23 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=33 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 24 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=34 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 25 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=35 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 26 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=36 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 27 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=49 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 28 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=50 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 29 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=51 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 30 led_matrix_pattern=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=52 type=CC chn= 1 cc= 31 led_matrix_pattern=1 does not work. Would you please explain it to me? 1) Why are the sr_dout_sel missing or are they just declared as sr_dout_r2? As you can see, each DOUT_MATRIX has 16 EVENT_LED_MATRIX entries, regardless of the number of rows. 2) Do you mean EVENT_LED_MATRIX entry has a 16 step pattern? 3) Shouldn't be the code DOUT_MATRIX n=1 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=3 sr_dout_r2=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=2 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=4 sr_dout_r2=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=1 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=6 sr_dout_r2=8 DOUT_MATRIX n=2 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=7 sr_dout_r2=8 like this (different matrix numbering) DOUT_MATRIX n=1 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=3 sr_dout_r2=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=2 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=4 sr_dout_r2=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=3 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=6 sr_dout_r2=8 DOUT_MATRIX n=4 rows=4 sr_dout_r1=7 sr_dout_r2=8 Best regards Marxon Edited December 1, 2013 by Marxon Quote
TK. Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 Sorry, my fault. It should be: DOUT_MATRIX n=1 rows=4 sr_dout_sel1=4 sr_dout_r1=3 DOUT_MATRIX n=2 rows=4 sr_dout_sel1=4 sr_dout_r1=5 DOUT_MATRIX n=3 rows=4 sr_dout_sel1=7 sr_dout_r1=6 DOUT_MATRIX n=4 rows=4 sr_dout_sel1=7 sr_dout_r1=8 Does this make more sense? ;) 2) Do you mean EVENT_LED_MATRIX entry has a 16 step pattern? no, I mean that EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=1..16 are assigned to DOUT_MATRIX id=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=17..32 are assigned to DOUT_MATRIX id=2 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=33..48 are assigned to DOUT_MATRIX id=3 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=49..64 are assigned to DOUT_MATRIX id=4 each id controls a column (LED bar) You've only 4 LED bars per DOUT_MATRIX, accordingly only id=1..4, id=17..20, id=33=36, id=49..52 are relevant, the others can be ignored. Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote
Marxon Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Posted December 1, 2013 no, I mean that EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=1..16 are assigned to DOUT_MATRIX id=1 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=17..32 are assigned to DOUT_MATRIX id=2 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=33..48 are assigned to DOUT_MATRIX id=3 EVENT_LED_MATRIX id=49..64 are assigned to DOUT_MATRIX id=4 each id controls a column (LED bar) You've only 4 LED bars per DOUT_MATRIX, accordingly only id=1..4, id=17..20, id=33=36, id=49..52 are relevant, the others can be ignored.
