Creating an eye-catching scrolling text LED display using Arduino UNO is an exciting project. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Materials Needed:
- Arduino UNO board
- Breadboard
- Jumper wires
- MAX7219 LED display module (8×8 matrix)
- USB cable for Arduino UNO
- Computer with Arduino IDE installed
Step 1: Set Up the Hardware
- Connect the Arduino UNO to your computer using the USB cable.
- Place the MAX7219 LED display module on the breadboard.
- Connect the VCC pin of the module to the 5V pin on the Arduino UNO.
- Connect the GND pin of the module to the GND pin on the Arduino UNO.
- Connect the DIN (data input) pin of the module to digital pin 12 on the Arduino UNO.
- Connect the CS (chip select) pin of the module to digital pin 10 on the Arduino UNO.
- Connect the CLK (clock) pin of the module to digital pin 11 on the Arduino UNO.
Step 2: Install Required Libraries
- Open the Arduino IDE on your computer.
- Go to “Sketch” -> “Include Library” -> “Manage Libraries.”
- In the Library Manager, search for “LedControl” and click on “Install” to install the library.
- Close the Library Manager once the installation is complete.
Step 3: Upload the Code
- Open a new sketch in the Arduino IDE.
- Write the code into it
- Customize the text
