How to use MAX7219 LED matrix (running text, display sensor data, add more LED matrix with Arduino)

Do you have any idea what projects we could make with this LED matrix? leave your comment below and let's make it in the next video.
In this video, we learn how to use the MAX7219 LED matrix with Arduino. And we learn how to make running text, display sensor data to this LED matrix, and how to add more modules so the display becomes longer.

Hi, hey I have to say the first seconds I was so close to change the video, but then, I undestand every word you said and I could make my own running text for my channel, I will Use it in my next video, thanks for the usefull information!!! I speak spanish man!

Thank you! That means a lot!

Would like to see tutorial on: How to turn this to program via your iphone, so no need for data cable. And a way to save different statements, that can be recalled via different input switches.

Bang,klo pake modul LED matrix p10 bisa??

[@efanutz]

hello, i want to see in your tutorials if it's possible to make a digital clock with gps syncronization with dates and temperature , power up by a photovoltaic panel....clock, dates and temperatune need to change between some interval, and the led light need to dim out if is night time...

[@michaelnguyen1148]

I didn't see any schematic for those. Please tell me about them, what is the UI_swicth?

Hello sir i have problem my led matrix and geekcreit uno 3 board tell me please how can i download the in my geekcriet uno board

[@am1manTravel]

Very nice but what happens if you disconnect from power and then reconnect to power? Will it remember everything and continue displaying your last scrolling message? Or will you lose it and have to go back and reenter the message every time?

[@fafazafmmrfixitthelandlord3981]

what is the budget for the material you used..each?

Thanks! Can the data be live driven? Looking for live update for support tickets counter.

Please help. I'm using only 1 device (8x8). Scrolling text is working but it has mirror image problem. Each individual letter is mirrored. How to fix?

[@lancelink88]

It would be awesome if you could show how you did that Pacman eating the text. I would like to have a real time clock and Pacman eating the clock time. That is my goal, any help much appreciated! Thank you

Great tutorial thank you sir...Hello sir, I'm working on a project called wireless notice board, using aurdino, two Xbee series 2c, 8*8 dot matrix board (4 in 1) for the display. The aim of the project is to wirelessly update the message scrolling on the dot matrix board using the Xbee. One Xbee is connected to the Arduino, the matrix board is also connected to the Arduino (I don't know if my connection is Correct) then the Arduino is connected to the laptop through USB, the second xbee is connected to another USB port. I use the XCTU software to check if the connections between the two Xbee is okay, I can send a message wirelessly to the other Xbee and vice versa... to command it to update the matrix board is my problem here please help me guys. I want to summit the project in school next week

Hi, Is there limitation to words?

[@Thailandjohn]

I would like to see 2 ESP32 using ESP Now. One transmitting temperature and the other displaying the temperature on a scrolling display and showing when the transmitter fails.

Do you know how many of these I can daisychain together? I’d like string together like 15, like one long line

[@miliohm]

It's already told in video. Watch carefully

[@198407ankur]

sir, i want to ask when we connect this led matrix to arduino and then we connect them both with PC to upload program, does the matrix LED turns on automatically or not. In my case, when I'm connecting both the module with PC, some part of the LED turns on and some are off. This is my first project and i have very basic knowledge about electronic and nil about coding.

[@upsetmiltosplays3446]

yes.

[@zeusnn]

How many of these 8x8 could be connect to an Arduino? I was planning to get 16 8x8 led matrix

[@miliohm]

Not sure, but I think 16 Pieces still work

[@carlosgarciasantacruz5036]

Fc16_HW is not a member of md_max72xx error, how do I fix it?

[@Dancopymus]

You have to look for the correct Parola library that has this function. From what I saw, it's calling FC16_HW instead of Fc16_HW (capital C).

[@Dancopymus]

Very cool but, the control of the Matrix could be through Bluetooth or Remote Control; what do you think?

[@miliohm]

yes, we can do that in next video.

[@Dancopymus]

@@miliohm Thank you, I'll be waiting! I will subscribe.

how about adding a bluetooth module so we can send the text from our phones

Yeah, that's possible. Maybe in next video. Don't forget to subscribe so you won't miss it

Numpang tanya bang, saya kan bikin external / extra display buat timbangan digital via serial communication, ic pakai max7219 dan LED 7segment, sewaktu mulai hidup, angka di timbangan 0, di display juga 0, sewaktu ada beban di timbangan misalnya 1000 di display juga menunjukkan 1000, sewaktu beban kembali ke 0,angka di display tidak mau kembali ke 0 kenapa ya bang? Kalo saya coba kode yang sama dengan ic TM1637 tidak ada kendala bang padahal. Mohon pencerahan nya.

[@miliohm]

Programnya bagaimana? Coba dishare programnya biar saya cek

[@sulistyantoaris]

[@sailfromsurigao]

can i combine three of those 4x1 led module then use just one arduino nano?

[@miliohm]

Sure, just solder the end of module to another module. Then define your led size in sketch

Hi, Realy nice totorial (explained very well) but i'm having a problem uploading code (Error message below) anyone have any idea why im getting this error ? Thanks Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P" avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x21

[@miliohm]

Try uplug the USB and try again.

[@DavidTLutz]

If you are using a blue Chinese clone of the Nano, you need to choose ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) under Tools/Processor.. HTH.

[@sailfromsurigao]

The link for the code is broken

[@miliohm]

Sorry, we have problem in server. You can try again in some minutes.
