Switching from Uno to Mega: warning: left shift count >= width of type

Hello, I bought a 64x16 matrix display on ebay and I used code:

// Arduino 1.0.5 UNO R3
#include <pgmspace.h>

// Connections to board
const byte latchPin=8;
const byte clockPin=46;
const byte data_R1=40;
const byte data_R2=41;

const byte la_74138=23;
const byte lb_74138=24;
const byte lc_74138=25;
const byte ld_74138=26;
byte ScanRow = 0;
unsigned long counter;

//Insert message here ("message ")
const char message[] = "TEST ARDUINO MEGA    ";


byte buffer[256] = { // Display buffer (which is scanned by the interrupt timer) of 8x32 bytes

clock pin is 46 minus 8 is 38. shifting left this far will result in 0. the code is obviously not portable and was written for specific pins on uno

johnwasser · October 26, 2021, 8:00pm

Mattuz:

const byte data_R1=40;
const byte data_R2=41;

      PORTB &=~(3UL<<(data_R1-8));                                 // data_R2 is LOW; data_R1 is LOW;
      PORTB &=~(1UL<<(clockPin-8));

Yes.

40-8 is 32 and shifting a 32-bit number by 32 bits will clear it completely.

41-8 is 33 and shifting a 32-bit number by 33 bits will clear it completely.

You switched processors without understanding the hardware-specific parts of the code. You can't just copy Direct Port Access code to a different processor.

You will need to re-write all parts the reference PORTB or PORTD.

Mattuz:

      PORTB &=~(3UL<<(data_R1-8));                                 // data_R2 is LOW; data_R1 is LOW;
      PORTB &=~(1UL<<(clockPin-8));                                // digitalWrite(clockPin,LOW);
      PORTB |= !((buffer[index]>>(7-i)) & 0x01) << (data_R1-8);  // top set of rows
      PORTB |= !((buffer[index+128]>>(7-i)) & 0x01) << (data_R2-8); // bottom set of rows
      PORTB |= 1<<(clockPin-8);

You need to pick three pins that are in the same PORT. You need to know the bit within the PORT (the '-8' trick only works on PORTB on an UNO or Nano for Pins 8 through Pin 13).

Hello, thank you for the answer. I went back to use the original uno pinout, so now it's:

const byte latchPin=8;
const byte clockPin=12;
const byte data_R1=10;
const byte data_R2=11;
const byte en_74138=2;
const byte la_74138=3;
const byte lb_74138=4;
const byte lc_74138=5;
const byte ld_74138=6;

I saw online that the mega has pin 10, 11, 12, 13 on port b, so the pinout issue should be fixed, right?
But I don't understand how to change the "-8" part you mentioned since it's not compatible with arduino mega

blh64 · October 27, 2021, 2:41pm

On the Uno

D8 -_> Port B, bit 0
D9 --> Port B, bit 1
D10 --> Port B, bit 2
D11 --> Port B, bit 3
D12 --> Port B, bit 4
D13 --> Port B, bit 5

So there is a nice correspondence between pin # and port B bit #, the -8

If you look at the mega, it is different

D8 -_> Port H, bit 5
D9 --> Port H, bit 6
D10 --> Port B, bit 4
D11 --> Port B, bit 5
D12 --> Port B, bit 6
D13 --> Port B, bit 7

And in your code, you are using pins 12, 10, 11 so

12 - 8 = bit 4 of port B (Not correct, should be 6)
10 - 8 = bit 2 of port B (should be bit 4)
11 - 8 = bit 3 of port B (should be bit 5)

They are all off by 2 so you could edit your code to use a "magic offset" of -6 vs. -8

      PORTB &=~(3UL<<(data_R1-6));                                 // data_R2 is LOW; data_R1 is LOW;
      PORTB &=~(1UL<<(clockPin-6));                                // digitalWrite(clockPin,LOW);
      PORTB |= !((buffer[index]>>(7-i)) & 0x01) << (data_R1-6);  // top set of rows
      PORTB |= !((buffer[index+128]>>(7-i)) & 0x01) << (data_R2-6); // bottom set of rows
      PORTB |= 1<<(clockPin-6);

But now you have Mega specific code.

Hello thanks to your piece of code right now I'm not getting any kind of warnings or errors! But the display is not working at all, not even a pixel one, there's still something wrong
