uint8_t  chip = 0 
)
inlineinherited

Send the value to the given digit or row.

◆ sendRowAll()

void sendRowAll ( uint8_t  digit,
const uint8_t *  values,

)
inlineinherited

Send values to the given digit or row, sending a different value for each chip.

The array is often a matrix containing the values for all rows of all chips in this chain. In that case, the leading dimension is 8, because each chip has 8 rows.

[0] chip 0, row 0  ┐
[1] chip 0, row 1  │
[ ] ...            │ 8 elements between two chips
[7] chip 0, row 7  │
[8] chip 1, row 0  ┘
[9] chip 1, row 1
[ ] ...

If you just want to specify a single row for all chips, the leading dimension of the array is 1.

[0] chip 0, row 0  ┐
[1] chip 1, row 0  ┘ 1 element between two chips
[2] chip 2, row 0
[ ] ...
Parameters
digitThe digit or row to set [0, 7].
valuesThe array of values to send.
leading_dimThe leading dimension of the array of values.

Definition at line 112 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

◆ sendAll()

void sendAll ( const uint8_t *  values)
inlineinherited

Send different values to all digits/rows of all chips.

The array layout should be as follows:

[0] chip 0, row 0  ┐
[1] chip 0, row 1  │
[ ] ...            │ 8 elements between two chips
[7] chip 0, row 7  │
[8] chip 1, row 0  ┘
[9] chip 1, row 1
[ ] ...

The array has 8 * chainlength elements in total.

Parameters
valuesThe array of values to send.

Definition at line 143 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.
