This is one of the first times I am using SimHub for a dashboard project with a Matrix 32x8 WS2812B. As it is limited to 8x8, I have modified the code from 64 to 256 => 32 x 8. In this case, after loading the code and testing the test code, all the red LEDs light up and setting a single led manually on the code works.
In the RGB Matrix editor, you can add more than 8 rows and 8 columns but they are not shown in the matrix (the matrix position is at the last 8x8 LEDs, from (24,0) to (32,8) instead of starting at position (0,0) to (32,0)). I would like to know if the problem is because although the Arduino code is loaded with all the LEDs, during the communication (serial communication between SimHub and the Arduino), they are not written properly.
I used 16x8. Changed settings for getting gear in center and spotter on both left right ends.. works fine. No need to clear gear display while spotter is on.
- But thing is. I wanted to use it as speedometer but thrs no option and hard to configure.
I've been a while without testing on this topic, but the most I've managed to do is to manually modify the arduino code to display any size NxM matrix. What I'm having trouble with is trying to draw past the first 8 rows and columns. That is, I have put 32 columns and 8 rows, as is the matrix but I have noticed that past that value, the value sent in the serial connection does not write the correct position (I do not know if it detects that it is above 64 and stops writing the value or what) the only thing I can confirm is that it is the part of the code in C # and I'm looking if I can create a plugin to control this then.
