i am able to display the counter at right corner and scroll message which will start from end of the display till the center of display.
only i need to do is to do both task of increment the counter and scrolling the message at once.
i am using DMD2 library
i have gone through many suggestion but still not able to solve my problem.
Code: Select all
/*
Scrolling alphabet demo, displays characters one at a time into a scrolling box.
*/
#include <SPI.h>
#include <DMD2.h>
#include <fonts/SystemFont5x7.h>
#include <fonts/Arial14.h>
#include <fonts/Droid_Sans_24.h>
#include <fonts/Droid_Sans_16.h>
// Set Width to the number of displays wide you have
const int WIDTH = 1;
const int COUNTDOWN_FROM = 0;
int counter = COUNTDOWN_FROM;
// You can change to a smaller font (two lines) by commenting this line,
// and uncommenting the line after it:
const uint8_t *FONT = SystemFont5x7;
const uint8_t *FONT2 = SystemFont5x7;
const char *MESSAGE = "GOA";
SoftDMD dmd(WIDTH,1); // DMD controls the entire display
DMD_TextBox box(dmd, 0, 1); // box to display counter
DMD_TextBox box1(dmd,11,1); //box to scroll message
// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
dmd.setBrightness(255);
//dmd.selectFont(FONT);
dmd.begin();
}
// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
dmd.selectFont(FONT);
box.print(counter);
dmd.selectFont(FONT2);
const char *next = MESSAGE;
while(*next) {
Serial.print(*next);
box1.print(*next);
delay(500);
next++;
}
box.println(F(""));
counter++;
if(counter == 60) {
dmd.clearScreen();
counter = 0;
}
}
