Outdoor Sub Matrix: Install software on arduino. |
Step 1: Install Arduino software on Your PC
To install the arduino software go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software and select "Windows Installer, for Windows XP and up"; (Follow the instructions to install).
|
Step 2: Install DMD2 (Dot Matrix Display) library on arduino software.
- To install DMD2 library, go to Sketch --> Include Library --> Manage Libraries:
|
|
- Search for DMD2 library and press install:
|
Step 3: Copy the ArcheryClock fonts to the DMD2 library
- The ArcheryClock fonts are available in the ArcheryClock Zip file in directory: "arduinofiles/submatrix/AC_submatrix001/" (Version 2.6.1.5 and higher).
- Find the location of the DMD2 library. And add the ArcheryClock fonts to the fonts directory of the DMD2 Library. By default it is located in Documents --> Arduino --> Libraries --> DMD2 --> fonts
|
Step 4: Add the ESP board to Arduino board manager.
- Go to File --> Preferences.
- Add 'https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json' to the Aditional boards manager URLs:
- Press OK.
- Go to Tools --> Boards --> Boards Manager
|
|
- Filter on ESP32.
- Press install.
- close when install is finished.
|
Step 5: Download the ESP software to ESP board.
- Open (doubleclick) the file 'ESP32_Fullmatrix_receiver_002.ino'. (You will find the file in the archeryclock directory \arduinofiles\fullmatrix\ESP32_Fullmatrix_receiver_002\)
- Select the correct board in Tools --> Board --> ESP32 Arduino --> DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1
- Select the correct com port in Tools --> Port.
- upload
|
Step 6: Download the Arduino software to Arduino boards.
- Open (doubleclick) the file 'MEGA_line_matrix_002.ino'. (You will find the file in the archeryclock directory \arduinofiles\fullmatrix\MEGA_line_matrix_002\)
- Select the correct board in Tools --> Board --> Arduino AVR Boards--> Arduino Mega or Mega 2560
- Select the correct com port in Tools --> Port.
- upload
Repeat the same steps for the other Arduino board. Use the file 'MEGA_segments_matrix_002.ino'. (You will find the file in the archeryclock directory \arduinofiles\fullmatrix\MEGA_segments_matrix_002\).
