hi
I try to use numbers and letters, but does not work. Is there anyone who can help me?
/*
Arduino 56x8 scrolling LED Matrix
Scrolls any message on up to seven (or more?) 8x8 LED matrices.
Adjust the bitmap array below to however many matrices you want to use.
You can start with as few as two.
The circuit:
* 1 8-bit shift register (SN74HC595) to drive the rows of all displays.
* N power 8-bit shift registers (TPIC6C595) to drive the columns (1 chip per display)
* N 8x8 LED matrix display (rows=Anodes, cold=cathodes)
* N * 8 470ohm resistors, one for each column of each display
* 1 10K resistor
* A big breadboard, or several small ones
* Lots and lots of wires. AT LEAST 16 wires for each display.
* If you plan on driving more than 8 displays, you should add 8 transistors to drive the rows because
potentially you would be lighting up the whole row at one time (56 LEDs at once in my case, 8*n in your case)
Wiring tips:
* Key to success is to put the chips on the left and/or right of the matrix rather than above or below.
This would allow you to run wires above and below the matrix without covering any of them.
* I used several power bus breadboard strips above and below the matrix so all row wires never has to cross the matrix.
* Wire up each matrix one at a time, turning on the Ardunio to verify your work before proceeding to the next matrix.
Correcting your work after you have 32 wires over it is very difficult.

// I kept these version notes to show you that it doesn't just all magically happen. I start simple and keep adding more.
//v01 - Just see if we can drive one matrix, one dot at a time. Forget multiplexing for now.
//v02 - All three displays show same pattern because they are all tied to same data line.
//v03 - Second and third 595 inputs are tied to outputs of previous, so now shiftout three bytes instead of one.
//v04 - Let's multiplex. This version has no bleeding, but still flickers quite a bit.
//v05 - Flicker is reduced by using delayMicroseconds() instead of delay(). Flipping both latches HIGH at same time increases brightess of all LEDs.
//v06 - let's animate! (none of this code is in v09, I removed them because they're unrelated to the marquee.
//v07 - We got a scrolling message marquee!
//v08 - Now with SEVEN matrices! 56x8 pixels
//v09 - Add comments and remove experimental code
//v10 - Fixed search and replace error in Plot. Thanks to Capacea for catching this error.
