Since two days, I'm desperatly trying to make it work, but computer says no. I found this site, MilesBurton.com,
where I downloaded the library. I can compile the example.pde and upload it to my Arduino Uno but nothing happens. I oversaw a link, MilesBurton.com
where you can download a patch for green LED, can anybody tell me what I should do with that text (where to copy, how to name it, how to #include it?)
Boah, never thought a Hello World would cause my eyes getting wet. =(
I had to write an examn today, the lecture was an introduction in programming, that's why i'm answering so late, i had to avoid killing time with arduino... the first programm we had to learn was processing. i really liked it and that was how i got to arduino. the examn was quite good, i think i passed it. after a beer i came home and allowed myself an arduino-time. now i simply pasted your test_3208 together with the ht1632.h (had some problem with 'DEBUGPRINT' was not.., but solved by pasting the ht1632.h directly into the arduino 'console'(?) instead of #including it) and the font3.h into arduino, compiled it and uploaded it: Hello World.
So now i'm a little bit confused: you say my display is 3208, your .pde is named 3208 but was written for the older 0832? Since the chip on the backside of my display says only HT1632 and is working with the 3208.pde, that means that i've got the 0832 display?
BTW, your blog was the reason i got myself that display;)
Thanks a lot for your answer, you really made my day!
I don't think the name of the display is important as long as you got it working.
As you saw, the 2 different chips (HT1632 vs HT1632C) require slightly different initialization procedures.
Don't be shy about posting questions/comments on my projects directly in the blog. I am glad you found it useful.
