Re:running LED 5X7 matrix display

[evaradharaj]

Hi,

I am implementing the 5X7 LED matrix display of 20 LED matrices. I need to implement in Tamil font. But i didnt have experience in designing with LED matrix.

Now i studied about the LED matrices and driver ICs in the net. I collected the knowledge about some of the ICs. Finally i decided to use MAX6953.

In that IC we can store 24 user definable characters in the RAM. If power power goes off then the content ( user definable characters) will be erased.

I have a doubt in that, can i design the matrices for tamil font?

Is there any other possibilities present?

Can i have a circuit diagram for 4 5X7 LED matrix?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Varadharaj E

First of all and sincerely speaking, I do not know anything regarding Tamil font, searching in the web I found this:
http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Tamil.html

I guess that those symbols/char can´t be represented using a 5x7 Leds array. I suspect that you will need
a higher resolution array, like 8x8.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I have added Tamil fonts. Its my final target. First i have to familiar with English fonts.

hi,

Now i am trying to display the English character uaing PIC 16F877a controller. I am using the driver max6953 in the code library section.

1) I have a doubt that how we can shift the data to the left side or right side in the display?

Thanks in advance
