Hi If you're planning to make this semi-permanent and trapping your Eleven in the project the neatest path I think would be to solder your power wires direct to the 5V and GND pads on the underside. You might also be tempted to make up a micro-USB cable that only provides the 5V and GND wires. If it...

Hi,
I've always used a single power supply. For selecting the PSU we use 5A per panel as the rule of thumb and so far that's worked out well.

Hi Ahmed

Because I've found it unstable with ATmega328 based Arduino above 6, I've kept my designs to 6 or fewer. Others on this forum have stated they've had success with more.

I see it now. You'd have to work through it with the font file open as well to see what all those offsets and indices add up to.

Where is this code?

Hi Roman You've not told us how many DMDs you are using in your display nor the size of your font, but you could get an approximation of the message ending in the middle by moving the left side and width of "box1" in the declaration. eg let's pretend it's just one, it might look something like SoftD...

Did you see that all the font references in this file are called that still? When you #include this font, the file name is not relevant to the compiler but the content is...these lines will mean you're defining a font called Arial_Black_16 regardless what your filename is therefore. #ifndef ARIAL_BL...

Please upload your font file and I'll give it a try

That project was 100% running, no sleep or low power modes used.
