Example 2

'Set 12 8x8 displays with GPIO15 as CS pin

MaxScroll.Setup 12, 15

'Set the message

MaxScroll.print "This is a circling message scrolling on 3x4 led matrix Displays"

'Set the refresh rate of the display (50 msec) - lower values -> scroll faster

timer0 50, scrollme

wait

Scrollme:

'Scroll the display with an intensity of 15 (maximum)

MaxScroll.scroll 15

return

This is another example where the message can be set using a web page.

The very simple web page is shown at the right

CODE: example2b.bas

'default message

msg$ = "Default Message"

' clear the html screen

cls

'create the textbox in the html page

html textbox$(msg$, "box")

'when the textbox is updated, the program will jump to update_message

onHtmlChange update_message

'Set 12 8x8 displays with GPIO15 as CS pin

MaxScroll.Setup 12, 15

'Set the first message as the current time

MaxScroll.print msg$

'Set the refresh rate of the display (50 msec) - lower values -> scroll faster

timer0 50, scrollme

wait

Scrollme:

'Scroll the display with an intensity of 15

MaxScroll.scroll 15

return

update_message:

MaxScroll.print msg$

return
