Hi I have tried to locate this MAX72xxPanel library with no luck on Github or Googling it, can anyone direct me to the repository please.
Bobw
A few exist. Here is one.
Thank you for your quick response I tried that but I need MAX72xxPanel.h and ccp
that didnt have the panel library, thank you though
Hi, tried this one? GitHub - nickgammon/MAX7219: Arduino library for MAX7219 display chip And could you please mention which particular panel you are using? Any link?
Sorry for that oversight. Are these the library you seek?
Hi I'll have a look, but the error message says I need MAX72xxPanel library .h and ccp
Thank you
Would you copy/paste the error from your IDE output, here? Be sure to copy all of it and paste between the code tags using the "</>" button.
Adding... the .h and the .cpp generally are in the same folder (/src), so when searching for "something.h" you will probably see "something.cpp" next to the .h.
sorry a bit of a newbe on here, where do I paste between code tags?
the library asked for doesn't have the arduino in front of it
I see the picture link you sent but the library is arduino-Maxx72 xxPanel not just MAX72xxPanel so I dont get it to work
This is the error message :
C:\Users\rwoos\AppData\Local\Temp.arduinoIDE-unsaved2022629-6016-4dpnny.84qab\sketch_jul29a\sketch_jul29a.ino:4:10: fatal error: Max72xxPanel.h: No such file or directory

Adjust the search link I sent. Edit out the "arduino-dash" and you should get some good links.

If you "have" the .h and .cpp, be sure to save them in your libraries folder.
(hey, it's okay not to "know" but you will, soon understand how to correct errors.)
Also, please, go back to your previous posts (click the "pencil" below each post) and cut/paste the computer output into the "</>" code tag to make it easier to read (really, it is easier to read).
thank you, one thing might be different I'm on arduino ide 2`Clock_Code.inoC/C++

This guy? (8x8)
You should be able to use IDE2 similar to the older version
Also, let's be sure to separate the library thread from the IDE2 thread. So, find the .h and .cpp to satisfy the IDE first.
this is the sketch I'm trying
the way it reads is the library is already in the ide and I tried to find it with no luck so looked on Github to find it also googled but nothing came up with the exact library ,
if I just pfind a copy of the .h .ccp files do you think the sketch will accept them
Where you put the "tick" (single back-quote: ` ) should be three tick-tick-ticks.
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Max72xxPanel.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "DHT.h"
I am not familiar with this command.
Ooh... that link to your project might be using old information and libraries. I looked in the IDE "manage libraries" and did not find one ready for multiple 8x8 (except U8g.h).
This guy usually does a good job with his projects (look for the Parola library). Maybe you can use his page to get started, and follow up with your original sketch?
Yes thats an idea, I subscribe to his youtube channel I'll have a look what comes up there I saw he had one with a single matrix but didnt watch it yet.
He is brilliant I like his methods
well I'll try a few bits more . Thank you for your help it is much appreciated I'll look back here later Thank for your time
by the way do .h and .ccp files have to be in a folder or how would you dump them in the libraries I get a bit confused with them and often get in a muddle but Iam 76 so am allowed to
