Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MAX7219_Base()

MAX7219_Base ( SPIDriver  spi,
pin_t  loadPin,
uint8_t  chainlength = 1 
)
inline

Create a MAX7219_Base object.

Parameters
spiThe SPI interface to use.
loadPinThe pin connected to the load pin (C̄S̄) of the MAX7219.
chainlengthThe number of daisy-chained MAX7219 chips.

Definition at line 34 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ begin()

void begin ( )
inline

Initialize the Arduino pins, SPI, and the MAX7219.

Definition at line 47 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

◆ clear()

void clear ( )
inline

Turn off all LEDs.

Definition at line 62 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

◆ send()

void send ( uint8_t  digit,
uint8_t  value,
uint8_t  chip = 0 
)
inline

Send the value to the given digit or row.

Parameters
digitThe digit or row to set [0, 7].
valueThe value to set the row to.
chipThe chip to send the digit to.

Definition at line 77 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

◆ sendRowAll()

void sendRowAll ( uint8_t  digit,
const uint8_t *  values,
uint8_t  leading_dim = 1 
)
inline

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)
inline

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.

◆ sendRawAll()

void sendRawAll ( uint8_t  opcode,
uint8_t  value 
)
inline

Send the same raw opcode and value to all chips in the chain.

Parameters
opcodeThe opcode to send.
valueThe value to send.

Definition at line 156 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

◆ sendRaw()

void sendRaw ( uint8_t  opcode,
uint8_t  value,
uint8_t  chip = 0 
)
inline

Send a raw opcode and value to the given MAX7219.

Parameters
opcodeThe opcode to send.
valueThe value to send.
chipThe chip to send the command to.

Definition at line 177 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

◆ setIntensity() [1/2]

void setIntensity ( uint8_t  intensity)
inline

Set the intensity of the LEDs of all chips.

Parameters
intensityThe intensity [0, 15].

Definition at line 203 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

◆ setIntensity() [2/2]

void setIntensity ( uint8_t  intensity,
uint8_t  chip 
)
inline

Set the intensity of the LEDs of a specific chip.

Parameters
intensityThe intensity [0, 15].
chipThe chip to set the intensity of.

Definition at line 215 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.

◆ getChainLength()

uint8_t getChainLength ( ) const
inline

Get the number of daisy-chained chips.

Definition at line 222 of file MAX7219_Base.hpp.
