Lights are: ON
I had this idea to build my own little dot matrix display. Just for the fun of seeing things come alive. Well turns out that was darn simple :-).
Bitmap editor
A place to design our 8 by 8 bitmap letters. Any changes you make
will be persisted but you can reset everything to start
over.
Now go and load some predefined letters (bitmaps):
You can clear the editor and save your
changes or even tile the current bitmap.
Matrix display
Our beautiful 128 by 32 matrix display.
Demo
Let's run a
little demo! Or how about this one?
Take control
Our matrix display is known as m. And points are represented as
[x,y]. All bitmaps can be accessed through bitmap. Semicolons
between statements are mandatory.
m.clear();
m.text([25,6], "WELCOME TO");
m.text([25,16], "THE MATRIX");
m.rectangle([22, 4], [100, 25]);
You can run this code,
or clear it.
Routines
The operations implemented are:
- clear()
- text(point, text)
- draw(point, bitmap)
- pen(x, y)
- erase(x, y)
- line(point, point)
- circle(point, radius)
- rectangle(point, point)
