Digital Scrolling Text Display in Proteus with MAX7219 and Arduino

• Sir I have not used
  Adafruit_I2C Device.h library
  But they keep telling me no such file or directory. So I don't know why

  • Can you post your code and the message you got?

    • #include
      #include
      #include
      into pinCS = 10;
      into numberOfHorizontalDisplay = 3;
      numberOfVerticalDisplay = 1;
      Max72xxPanel matrix = Max72xxPanel(pinCS, numberOfHorizontalDisplays, numberOfVerticalDisplays);
      string tape = "Ettron.com";
      int wait = 50;
      into spacer = 1;
      int with = 5 + spacer;
      void setup(){
      matrix.set intensity(7);
      }
      void loop()
      {
      for (int I = 0; I=0 &&letter>=0)
      {
      if (letter<tape.length())
      {
      matrix.drawChar(x,y, tape[letter], HIGH, LOW, 1);
      }
      letter--;
      x -=width;
      }
      matrix.write();
      delay(wait);
      }
      }

      The error message is
      No such file or directory
      #include
      ^
      Compilation terminated

        Digital Scrolling Text Display in Proteus with MAX7219 and Arduino

        digital scrolling text display
        I have previously made a project tutorial on how to design a digital scrolling text display with Arduino and P10 DMD module. In this tutorial, you will learn how to simulate a dot matrix display module with MAX7219 DMD driver, 8×8 dot matrix display (DMD) and Arduino in Proteus.

        If you do not have Proteus installed on your computer, do not worry; because I have made a tutorial on how to download and install Proteus 8.11 free. I also have the simulation software free on my website to download. Feel free to download it and install on your computer. Once you’ve done that, you can proceed with the simulation.

        Proteus is a very powerful circuit simulation software that is used by so many tech companies for electronic circuit design and simulation. it is also used for printed circuit board design. You can get the software from Labcenter electronics, but at a very high price. however, you can download it from my website free.

        This simulation is a simple way to showcase what the real result will look like even before you design the real project.

        All you need for the simulation is to have the following:

        Arduino IDE
        Proteus Simulator software
        Arduino proteus library
        I have made a comprehensive tutorial on how to add Arduino library to Proteus.

        Below is the complete video on How to simulate digital scrolling text display (DMD) in Proteus with MAX7219 and Arduino

        The Arduino code for digital scrolling text display
        #include
        #include
        #include

        int pinCS = 10;
        int numberOfHorizontalDisplays = 3;
        int numberOfVerticalDisplays = 1;
        Max72xxPanel matrix = Max72xxPanel(pinCS, numberOfHorizontalDisplays,numberOfVerticalDisplays);
        String tape = "Ettron";
        int wait = 50;

        int spacer = 1;
        int width = 5 + spacer;

        void setup() {
        matrix.setIntensity(7);

        }
        void loop() {
        for ( int i = 0; i = 0 && letter >= 0)
        {

        if (letter =0)
        {
        if (letter<tape.length())
        {
        matrix.drawChar(x,y, tape[letter], HIGH, LOW, 1);
        }
        letter–;
        x -=width;
        }
        matrix.write();
        delay(wait);
        }
        }

        The error message is
        No such file or directory
        #include
        ^
        Compilation terminated

        • Sorry for multiple posting . made a mistake a pasted a wrong message.
          The error message is

          No such file or directory for
          #include
          ^

      • firstly learn basic of c/c++, as you don't have mention the library after #include

• thanks for this example.. pls give us proteous project and arduino library
  thanks again

  • What kind of project are you referring to? you can download Arduino Proteus library: https://ettron.com/how-to-download-and-install-proteus-8-13-latest-version/
    it is together with the Proteus software.

• thank you for this project. i want to know if a GSM module can be added this .if yes what modification can be added to change the displayed text.

  • Yes it can be added. But i may not have the time to work on that to show you how it is done. search on the internet.
