/* Row-Column Scanning an 8x8 LED matrix with X-Y input This example controls an 8x8 LED matrix using two analog inputs created 27 May 2009 modified 30 Aug 2011 by Tom Igoe This example works for the Lumex LDM-24488NI Matrix. See http://sigma.octopart.com/140413/datasheet/Lumex-LDM-24488NI.pdf for the pin connections For other LED cathode column matrixes, you should only need to change the pin numbers in the row[] and column[] arrays rows are the anodes cols are the cathodes --------- Pin numbers: Matrix: * Digital pins 2 through 13, * analog pins 2 through 5 used as digital 16 through 19 Potentiometers: * center pins are attached to analog pins 0 and 1, respectively * side pins attached to +5V and ground, respectively. This example code is in the public domain. http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/RowColumnScanning see also http://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/code/category/arduinowiring/514 for more */ // 2-dimensional array of row pin numbers: const int row[8] = { 2,7,19,5,13,18,12,16 }; // 2-dimensional array of column pin numbers: const int col[8] = { 6,11,10,3,17,4,8,9 }; // 2-dimensional array of pixels: int pixels[8][8]; // cursor position: int x = 5; int y = 5; void setup() { // initialize the I/O pins as outputs // iterate over the pins: for (int thisPin = 0; thisPin < 8; thisPin++) { // initialize the output pins: pinMode(col[thisPin], OUTPUT); pinMode(row[thisPin], OUTPUT); // take the col pins (i.e. the cathodes) high to ensure that // the LEDS are off: digitalWrite(col[thisPin], HIGH); } // initialize the pixel matrix: for (int x = 0; x < 8; x++) { for (int y = 0; y < 8; y++) { pixels[x][y] = HIGH; } } } void loop() { // read input: readSensors(); // draw the screen: refreshScreen(); } void readSensors() { // turn off the last position: pixels[x][y] = HIGH; // read the sensors for X and Y values: x = 7 - map(analogRead(A0), 0, 1023, 0, 7); y = map(analogRead(A1), 0, 1023, 0, 7); // set the new pixel position low so that the LED will turn on // in the next screen refresh: pixels[x][y] = LOW; } void refreshScreen() { // iterate over the rows (anodes): for (int thisRow = 0; thisRow < 8; thisRow++) { // take the row pin (anode) high: digitalWrite(row[thisRow], HIGH); // iterate over the cols (cathodes): for (int thisCol = 0; thisCol < 8; thisCol++) { // get the state of the current pixel; int thisPixel = pixels[thisRow][thisCol]; // when the row is HIGH and the col is LOW, // the LED where they meet turns on: digitalWrite(col[thisCol], thisPixel); // turn the pixel off: if (thisPixel == LOW) { digitalWrite(col[thisCol], HIGH); } } // take the row pin low to turn off the whole row: digitalWrite(row[thisRow], LOW); } }
