Led Matrix with Arduino Uno

HI! Im using a ledmatrix 32*8 with an arduino Uno. I managed to put the code found on " Matrix scripture # #caution# blinking" but the code is displayed vertically instead of horizontally.. .Instead of see the text from right to left or left to right im seing the code from down to the upper part of the modules( vertically).

Im using the Maxmatrix code.

Really would like guidance for the matter.

Is it possible to post a youtube video of what you are seeing?
Are you using the latest maxmatrix library?
Could you also post a photo of the back of the matrix board?

The main question for now: Is it possible to make the text run horizontally ? I have two segments of led matrix.

Sry about the layout of the answer from my behalf but i cant post any f. links and stuff...

Most of them look a bit different, with the LED contacts being left / right.
That said, instead of shiftLeft, the code could use shiftUp instead, which I *think* would accomplish what you are seeking. (ie. in printCharWithShift, replace "m.shiftLeft" with "m.shiftUp" and see what happens).
The only thing I'm worried about is the fonts. This *might* be an issue, they might need to be rotated 90 degrees.

Hi,
Im comunicating to recap the point i stand at:

I could not change with sucess : (ie. in printCharWithShift, replace "m.shiftLeft" with "m.shiftUp" ).

I can post the code im using here to see if anyone can visually find something that could change the orientation of the text.

Thank you.

Video example of how the text is being displayed in the modules:

I've been busy with work, haven't had a chance for hobbies. I am responding now between builds.

The modules you have are a bit different than mine (you have the surface mount version).

If, instead of using the jumpers to interconnect, you use wires, it'd be fine as is (just rotate each module 90 degrees). But those jumpers are cool, it's a very compact design. I will pick some up in the future.

In the mean time, I can reproduce your issue, once I get time, by rotating My modules by 90 degrees. I had thought that switching shiftLeft to shiftUp would be sufficient.

There are three potential solutions. First, figure out why shift routines didn't perform as expected, or two: re-do the font table as vertical, or three (the easiest and guaranteed to work) simply render into a horizontal buffer and then rasterize out vertically. The font method has a lot of down sides, but the other two are fairly easy, just have to find time.

Ok, thank you but about solution 3, i dont know how to render into a horizontal buffer and then rasterize out vertically.

It is possible to physically rotate them 90º but cant attach them to the board they are at; the connections(pins) are only on 2 sides of the module, like pic below.

I can wait for your input when you have more time. Thanks for attention!

I've found a exact match for the board you have on e-bay, it should be here in a little over a week (confirmed to have left China yesterday morning), just in case I'm not able to replicate your issue with the modules I already have. That said, I have high hopes that I will be able to get some time in this weekend, as I believe I can do it without the new modules. (they all use the same chip, and only really differ in H vs. V scanning.)
