How to Make Custom Characters for Led Matrix

How To Make Custom Characters  For Led Matrix

It Is So Simple To Make Our Own Custom Characters In Led Matrix For That

We Can Use A Simple App Called Pixel To Matrix

By Using This App Everyone Can Make There Own Custom Characters In Led Matrix

From There Own Imagination................ Isnt It Cool

Check This Instructable :) ;)

How to Control Led Matrix to Arduino

How To Control Led Matrix Using Arduino :--

Check This Video & Instructable If You Are Not Familier With The Connection Of Led Matrix With Arduino

Do Not Bother About These much Steps These I Have Done To Make Everything More Clear To You

Go & Proceed With The Next Step :) ;) ..........

Download the Files

Downloaded These Files ..........

Pixel To Matrix Application :-- http://www.mediafire.com/file/61o1hbqss52ksyt/Pixe...

Code :-- http://www.mediafire.com/file/23n440p13tat3th/LCDe...

Need To Extract the Pixel To Matrix App

Presentation3.png

Open The Extracted File ........

Presentation4.png

This Is The Pixel To Matrix App

The App Is Same As That Of 8*8 Led Matrix

Which Has 8 Rows & 8 Columns

Presentation5.png

Click On The Squares To Make Patterns .....

Presentation6.png

Then Click The Generate Button To Get The Code .........

Presentation7.png

This Is The Arduino Code For Led Matrix

Presentation8.png

Copy The Code ........

Presentation9.png

Open The Notepad To Paste The Code ....

Presentation10.png

Paste The Code Here ......

Presentation11.png

Click To Make The Patterns .......

Presentation12.png

Copy The Code ...........

Presentation13.png

Again Paste The Code On The Notepad ..........

Presentation14.png

Continue Making The Patterns In The App And Copy The Code

Presentation15.png

Paste The Code In Notepad Till Your Wish To Display The Patterns Which Was Made In The Pixel To Matrix App

Presentation16.png

Then Open The Arduino Code ........

Presentation17.png

Delete These Lines ..........

Presentation18.png

Then Type byte a[8]= {

Presentation31.png

Then Type byte b[8]= {

Presentation20.png

Type Till byte j[8]= {

I Have j Lines In My Notepad Code

So That I Have Made It To byte j[8]= {

Presentation21.png

Then Open The Notepad & Copy The First Line Of Code

& Paste The Code In The Arduino Code

After Copying The Code Need To Type };

Presentation22.png

Paste The Lines Upto byte j[8]= {

From The Notepad

Presentation23.png

Delete These Lines In The Code ........

Presentation24.png

Then Type

printByte (a);

delay(1000);

Presentation25.png

Type Lines Upto ,

printByte (j);

delay(1000);

Beacuse Iam Having J Lines In The Notepad ...........

If U Have More Than J Lines You Can Type Upto That Line Or Vice Versa .........

Presentation26.png

Type } At The End Of The Line ............

Presentation27.png

After That Click Verify ....

To Check For Any Errors Or Mistakes ......
