Iam a newbie and tried compiling p6 rgb led module with esp8266. But my module is not having D and E pin out... I tried severals codes but nothing worked seems like pin D Nd E is necessary... Any help regarding this wud b appriciated. Iam trying morphing clock and other allied things which can be done with the display.
D and E are not mandatory, depends on panel type.
Please show link to your panel, the letters "p6" means nothing more than pixel pitch in mm
|R1|B1|
|
|G1|GND|
|R2|B2|
|G2|GND|
|A|B|
|C|NC|
|CLK|LAT|
|OE|GND|
these are the connectors input pins
So it is a standart HUB75 connector.
It also says nothing about the panel.
Please show a clear photo of the reverse side of the panel or at least an ID - the text like "p6-16x32-2121-s8-v1.4"
Thank you. It is what I asked:
P6-2727-32x32-s8
You have "8scan" panel, it doesn't need a D and E pins. What the library did you used?

i have played with wled and it was fun so trying making display with clocks gifs etc tec .. i dnt have any idea about coding and all..
Try to initialize the display with a b c pins:
And you need to change
to
display.begin(8);
in the setup
done both the things its not turning on even
I dont understand. Please show your connections in full.
You should connect additionally at least R1
r1 to which pin
Great
