Great work Dennis. I have been messing about with my sign a fair bit since you posted the code to get it up and running... Loads of fun! The main issue I have had is that I found you cant send the string via UDP too often, if you do, the Auduino pukes on itself and corrupts the sting. To get around ...

For those that follow.....

Yes, I am using UDP to dmd code that others on this forum got working for me.

You can read about it and get the code from the forum thread;

Net to dmd working like a treat.

@ Aussie_Wombat Dennis and Simon, thanks so very much for your assistance, we got it all up and running!!!!! Now that we have it up and running, I have it connected to my home automation system. Now I can scroll air temperature and any device data that is in the system. Soon we will have Tweets show...

Wow. Talk about amazing timing...... I have been struggling to get pretty much this very thing going for a while... never would have guessed what the problem was. I just cant see how to do the conversion you mention in my code..... #include <SPI.h> #include <DMD.h> #include <TimerOne.h> #include <SP...

Update. I had to move the whole install back one directory, it was c:/arduino/arduino 1.0/...... Dropping the extra level of 1.0 (which the unzipping of the download from arduino.cc created for me) got it working. I now have all 4 of my DMD's up and running, scrolling beautiful text. Thanks to all w...

Update; I copied the DMD library files to this directory; C:\arduino\libraries\Examples It now will verify the sketch, but throws the following errors (just the first few of many many like it); Examples\DMD.cpp.o: In function `DMD::writePixel(unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned char, unsigned char)...

Hi Guys, First post here, so I hope I am in the right place. I bought 4 of the DMD displays and an EtherTen with the plans of getting it scrolling all sorts of information. Thus far I have spent about 5-6 hours trying to get the sample code to 'Verify', but cant. This it the first line error I am ge...
