18f & max7219 help
PostPosted: Sun Aug 18, 2013 7:55 pm     Reply with quote

hi people
I am creating a project with a PIC18F252 and two two MAX7219 LED matrix.
I managed to display characters in the max1 but the second I did not succeed.

anyone know how??
someone help me?

Code:
#include <18F252.h>
#fuses  NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NODEBUG
#use delay(clock=18000000)
#use spi( DI=pin_c3,DO=pin_c1,clk=pin_c2,bits=16,load_active=1,load=pin_c0,idle=1)
 
 
   int address, data, adqnum, digit[4];       //
   int direcc,dato,Column,Start_Byte,x ;                             
   int16 packetmax, result;                   //
   
unsigned int8 Alphabet[156]={

I assume you mean you have two MAX7219s connected on the SPI bus
and only one works?

It appears you are trying to use and expand on someone else's code without understanding how it all works.

How are you handling the Load /CS (chip select)? How/where is it connected?
Look at the Load/CS pin in the datasheet timing diagram and how it works.

I have two ci connected.

I understand I have customized the code to understand it even more and I want it modified to work with 2 MAX7219.

purchase a LED matrix in a garage sale for 1 dollar
the LED matrix is composed 128x7 LED
and has 8 MAX7219 and 18F252

in isis I have connected 2 Cl only when you really are 8 CI
