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\).

 

 

 

 

The ESP and arduino boards are now ready to use.
