GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General

Controlling RGB LED display with Raspberry Pi GPIO
==================================================
A library to control commonly available 64x64, 32x32 or 16x32 RGB LED panels
with the Raspberry Pi. Can support PWM up to 11Bit per channel, providing
true 24bpp color with CIE1931 profile.
Supports 3 chains with many panels each on a regular Pi.
On a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, you can easily chain 12 panels in that chain
(so 36 panels total), but you can theoretically stretch that to up
to 96-ish panels (32 chain length) and still reach
around 100Hz refresh rate with full 24Bit color (theoretical - never tested
this; there might likely be timing problems with the panels that will creep
up then).
With fewer colors or so-called 'outdoor panels' you can control even more,
faster.
The LED-matrix library is (c) Henner Zeller <h.zeller@acm.org>, licensed with
[GNU General Public License Version 2.0](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt)
(which means, if you use it in a product somewhere, you need to make the
source and all your modifications available to the receiver of such product so
that they have the freedom to adapt and improve).
## Discourse discussion group
If you'd like help, please do not file a bug, use the discussion board instead:
https://rpi-rgb-led-matrix.discourse.group/
Overview
--------
The RGB LED matrix panels can be scored at [Sparkfun][sparkfun],
[AdaFruit][ada] or eBay and Aliexpress. If you are in China, I'd try to get
them directly from some manufacturer, Taobao or Alibaba.
The `RGBMatrix` class provided in `include/led-matrix.h` does what is needed
to control these. You can use this as a library in your own projects or just
use the demo binary provided here which provides some useful examples.
Check out [utils/ directory for some ready-made tools](./utils) to get started
using the library, or the [examples-api-use/](./examples-api-use) directory if
you want to get started programming your own utils.
All Raspberry Pi versions supported
-----------------------------------
This supports the old Raspberry Pi's Version 1 with 26 pin header and also the
B+ models, the Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 with 40 pins, as well as the
Compute Modules which have 44 GPIOs.
The 26 pin models can drive one chain of RGB panels, the 40 pin models
**up to three** chains in parallel (each chain 12 or more panels long).
The Compute Module can drive **up to 6 chains in parallel**.
The Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 are faster and generally perferred to the older
models (and the Pi Zero). With the faster models, the panels sometimes
can't keep up with the speed; check out
this [troubleshooting section](#troubleshooting) what to do.
A lightweight, non-GUI, distribution such as [DietPi] is recommended.
[Raspbian Lite][raspbian-lite] is a bit easier to get started with and
is a good second choice.
Types of Displays
-----------------
There are various types of displays that come all with the same Hub75 connector.
They vary in the way the multiplexing is happening so this library supports
options to choose that.
All these are configured by flags (or, programmatically, in an [Options struct](include/led-matrix.h#L57)).
If you have a 64x32 display, you need to supply the flags
`--led-cols=64 --led-rows=32` for instance.
Depending on the Matrix, there are various configuration options that
you might need to set for it to work. See further below in the README for the
[detailed description of these](#changing-parameters-via-command-line-flags).
While the `--led-rows` and `--led-cols` can be derived from simply looking
at the panels, the other options might require some experimenting to find the
right setting if there is no description provided by the manufacturer of
the panel. Going through these options for experiments would typically not do
harm, so you're free to experiment to find your setting.
Flag                                | Description
:--------------- | :-----------------
`--led-cols` | Columns in the LED matrix, the 'width'.
`--led-rows` | Rows in the LED matrix, the 'height'.
`--led-multiplexing` | In particular bright outdoor panels with small multiplex ratios require this. Often an indicator: if there are fewer address lines than expected: ABC (instead of ABCD) for 32 high panels and ABCD (instead of ABCDE) for 64 high panels.
`--led-row-addr-type` | Adressing of rows; in particular panels with only AB address lines might indicate that this is needed.
`--led-panel-type` | Chipset of the panel. In particular if it doesn't light up at all, you might need to play with this option because it indicates that the panel requires a particular initialization sequence.
Panels can be chained by connecting the output of one panel to the input of
the next panel. You can chain quite a few together, but the refresh rate will
reduce with longer chains.
The 64x64 matrixes typically come in two kinds: with 5 address
lines (A, B, C, D, E), or (A, B); the latter needs a `--led-row-addr-type=1`
parameter. So-called 'outdoor panels' are typically brighter and allow for
faster refresh-rate for the same size, but do some multiplexing internally
of which there are a few types out there; they can be chosen with
the `--led-multiplexing` parameter.
There are some panels that have a different chip-set than the default HUB75.
These require some initialization sequence. The current supported types are
`--led-panel-type=FM6126A` and `--led-panel-type=FM6127`.
Generally, the higher scan-rate (e.g. 1:8), a.k.a. outdoor panels generally
allow faster refresh rate, but you might need to figure out the multiplexing
mapping if one of the three provided does not work.
Some 32x16 outdoor matrixes with 1:4 scan (e.g. [Qiangli Q10(1/4) or X10(1/4)](http://qiangliled.com/products-63.html))
have 4 address line (A, B, C, D). For such matrices is necessary to
use `--led-row-addr-type=2` parameter. Also the matrix Qiangli Q10(1/4)
have "Z"-stripe pixel mapping and in this case, you'd use two parameters
at the same time `--led-row-addr-type=2 --led-multiplexing=4`.
Let's do it
------------
This documentation is split into parts that help you through the process
1. <a href="wiring.md"><img src="img/wire-up-icon.png"></a>
[**Wire up the matrix to your Pi**](./wiring.md). This document describes
what goes where. You might also be interested
in [breakout boards](./adapter) for that.
If you have an [Adafruit HAT] or [Adafruit Bonnet], you can choose that with
a command line option [described below](#if-you-have-an-adafruit-hat-or-bonnet)
2. Run a demo. You find that in the
[examples-api-use/](./examples-api-use#running-some-demos) directory:
```
make -C examples-api-use
sudo examples-api-use/demo -D0
```
3. Use the utilities. The [utils](./utils) directory has some ready-made
useful utilities to show content. [Go there](./utils) to see how to
compile and run these.
4. Write your own programs using the Matrix in C++ or one of the
bindings such as Python or C#.
### Utilities
The [utils directory](./utils) is meant for ready utilities to show images or
animated gifs or videos. Read the [README](./utils/README.md) there for
instructions how to compile.
There are external projects that use this library and provide higher level
network protocols, such as the
* [FlaschenTaschen implementation](https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen)
(VLC can send videos to it natively)
* [PixelPusher implementation](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-matrix-pixelpusher) (common in light art installations)
* [ZeroMQ-server](https://github.com/Knifa/led-matrix-zmq-server) to receive
content.
* Marc's [FastLED_RPIRGBPanel_GFX](http://marc.merlins.org/perso/arduino/post_2020-01-01_Running-FastLED_-Adafruit_GFX_-and-LEDMatrix-code-on-High-Resolution-RGBPanels-with-a-Raspberry-Pi.html) allows running arduino code on linux/rPi and display on bigger RGBPanel matrices than arduino chips, can.
### API
The library comes as an API that you can use for your own utilities and use-cases.
* The native library is a C++ library (see [include/](./include)).
Example uses you find in the [examples-api-use/](./examples-api-use)
directory.
* If you prefer to program in C, there is also a
[C API](./include/led-matrix-c.h).
* In the [python](./bindings/python) subdirectory, you find a Python API including a
couple of [examples](./bindings/python/samples) to get started.
* There are a couple of external bindings, such as
* [Nodejs binding] by Maxime Journaux
* [Nodejs/Typescript binding] by Alex Eden
* [Go binding] by Máximo Cuadros
* [Rust binding] by Vincent Pasquier
### Changing parameters via command-line flags
For the programs in this distribution and also automatically in your own
programs using this library, there are a lot of parameters provided as command
line flags, so that you don't have to re-compile your programs to tweak them.
Some might need to be changed for your particular kind of panel.
Here is a little run-down of what these command-line flags do and when you'd
like to change them.
First things first: if you have a different wiring than described in
[wiring](./wiring.md), for instance if you have an Adafruit HAT/Bonnet, you can
choose these here:
```
--led-gpio-mapping=<gpio-mapping>: Name of GPIO mapping used. Default "regular"
```
This can have values such as
- `--led-gpio-mapping=regular` The standard mapping of this library, described in the [wiring](./wiring.md) page.
- `--led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat` The Adafruit HAT/Bonnet, that uses this library or
- `--led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat-pwm` Adafruit HAT with the anti-flicker hardware mod [described below](#improving-flicker).
- `--led-gpio-mapping=compute-module` Additional 3 parallel chains can be used with the Compute Module.
Learn more about the mappings in the [wiring documentation](wiring.md#alternative-hardware-mappings).
#### GPIO speed
```
--led-slowdown-gpio=<0..4>: Slowdown GPIO. Needed for faster Pis and/or slower panels (Default: 1).
```
The Raspberry Pi starting with Pi2 are putting out data too fast for almost
all LED panels I have seen. In this case, you want to slow down writing to
GPIO. Zero for this parameter means 'no slowdown'.
The default 1 (one) typically works fine, but often you have to even go further
by setting it to 2 (two). If you have a Raspberry Pi with a slower processor
(Model A, A+, B+, Zero), then a value of 0 (zero) might work and is desirable.
A Raspberry Pi 3 or Pi4 might even need higher values for the panels to be
happy.
#### Panel Connection
The next most important flags describe the type and number of displays connected
```
--led-rows=<rows> : Panel rows. Typically 8, 16, 32 or 64. (Default: 32).
--led-cols=<cols> : Panel columns. Typically 32 or 64. (Default: 32).
--led-chain=<chained> : Number of daisy-chained panels. (Default: 1).
--led-parallel=<parallel>: For A/B+ models or RPi2,3b: parallel chains. range=1..3 (Default: 1, 6 for Compute Module).
```
These are the most important ones: here you choose how many panels you have
connected and how many rows are in each panel. Panels can be chained (each panel
has an input and output connector, see the
[wiring documentation](wiring.md#chains)) -- the `--led-chain` flag tells the
library how many panels are chained together. The newer Raspberry Pi's allow
to connect multiple chains in parallel, the `--led-parallel` flag tells it how
many there are.
This illustrates what each of these parameters mean:
<a href="wiring.md#chaining-parallel-chains-and-coordinate-system"><img src="img/coordinates.png"></a>
##### Panel Type
Typically, panels should just work out of the box, but some panels use a
different chip-set that requires some initialization. If you don't see any
output on your panel, try setting:
```
--led-panel-type=FM6126A
```
Some panels have the FM6127 chip, which is also an option.
##### Multiplexing
If you have some 'outdoor' panels or panels with different multiplexing,
the following will be useful:
```
--led-multiplexing=<0..17> : Mux type: 0=direct; 1=Stripe; 2=Checkered...
```
The outdoor panels have different multiplexing which allows them to be faster
and brighter, but by default their output looks jumbled up.
They require some pixel-mapping of which there are a few
types you can try and hopefully one of them works for your panel; The default=0
is no mapping ('standard' panels), while 1, 2, ... are different mappings
to try with. If your panel has a different mapping, you find everything you
need to implement one in [lib/multiplex-mappers.cc](lib/multiplex-mappers.cc).
Please send a pull request if you encounter a panel for which you needed to
implement a new mapping.
Note that you have to set the `--led-rows` and `--led-cols` to the rows and
columns that are physically on each chained panel so that the multiplexing
option can work properly. For instance a `32x16` panel with `1:4` multiplexing
would be controlled with `--led-rows=16 --led-cols=32 --led-multiplexing=1` (or
whatever multiplexing type your panel is, so it can also be `--led-multiplexing=2` ...).
For `64x32` panels with `1:8` multiplexing, this would typically be
`--led-rows=32 --led-cols=64 --led-multiplexing=1`;
however, there are some panels that internally behave like
two chained panels, so then you'd use
`--led-rows=32 --led-cols=32 --led-chain=2 --led-multiplexing=1`;
```
--led-row-addr-type=<0..4>: 0 = default; 1 = AB-addressed panels; 2 = direct row select; 3 = ABC-addressed panels; 4 = ABC Shift + DE direct (Default: 0).
```
This option is useful for certain 64x64 or 32x16 panels. For 64x64 panels,
that only have an `A` and `B` address line, you'd use `--led-row-addr-type=1`.
This is only tested with one panel so far, so if it doesn't work for you,
please send a pull request.
For 32x16 outdoor panels, that have have 4 address line (A, B, C, D), it is
necessary to use `--led-row-addr-type=2`.
#### Panel Arrangement
```
--led-pixel-mapper : Semicolon-separated list of pixel-mappers to arrange pixels.
```
Optional params after a colon e.g. "U-mapper;Rotate:90"
Available | Parameter after colon| Example
----------|----------------------|----------
Mirror | `H` or `V` for horizontal/vertical mirror. | `Mirror:H`
Rotate | Degrees. | `Rotate:90`
U-mapper | -
Mapping the logical layout of your boards to your physical arrangement. See
more in [Remapping coordinates](./examples-api-use#remapping-coordinates).
#### Misc Options
```
--led-brightness=<percent>: Brightness in percent (Default: 100).
```
Self explanatory.
```
--led-pwm-bits=<1..11> : PWM bits (Default: 11).
```
The LEDs can only be switched on or off, so the shaded brightness perception
is achieved via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). In order to get a good 8 Bit
per color resolution (24Bit RGB), the 11 bits default per color are good
(why ? Because our eyes are actually perceiving brightness logarithmically, so
we need a lot more physical resolution to get 24Bit sRGB).
With this flag, you can change how many bits it should use for this; lowering it
means the lower bits (=more subtle color nuances) are omitted.
Typically you might be mostly interested in the extremes: 1 Bit for situations
that only require 8 colors (e.g. for high contrast text displays) or 11 Bit
for everything else (e.g. showing images or videos). Why would you bother at all ?
Lower number of bits use slightly less CPU and result in a higher refresh rate.
```
--led-show-refresh : Show refresh rate.
```
This shows the current refresh rate of the LED panel, the time to refresh
a full picture. Typically, you want this number to be pretty high, because the
human eye is pretty sensitive to flicker. Depending on the settings, the
refresh rate with this library are typically in the hundreds of Hertz but
can drop low with very long chains. Humans have different levels of perceiving
flicker - some are fine with 100Hz refresh, others need 250Hz.
So if you are curious, this gives you the number (shown on the terminal).
The refresh rate depends on a lot of factors, from `--led-rows` and `--led-chain`
to `--led-pwm-bits`, `--led-pwm-lsb-nanoseconds` and `--led-pwm-dither-bits`.
If you are tweaking these parameters, showing the refresh rate can be a
useful tool.
```
--led-limit-refresh=<Hz> : Limit refresh rate to this frequency in Hz. Useful to keep a
constant refresh rate on loaded system. 0=no limit. Default: 0
```
This allows to limit the refresh rate to a particular frequency to approach
a fixed refresh rate.
This can be used to mitigate some situations in which you have a faint flicker,
which can happen due to hardware events (network access)
or other situations such as other IO or heavy memory access by other
processes. Also when you see wildly changing refresh frequencies with
`--led-show-refresh`.
You trade a slightly slower refresh rate and display brightness for less
visible flicker situations.
For this to calibrate, run your program for a while with --led-show-refresh
and watch the line that shows the current refresh rate and minimum refresh
rate observed. So wait a while until that value doesn't
change anymore (e.g. a minute, so that you catch tasks that happen once
a minute, such as ntp updated).
Use this as a guidance what value to choose with `--led-limit-refresh`.
The refresh rate will now be adapted to always reach this value
between frames, so faster refreshes will be slowed down, but the occasional
delayed frame will fit into the time-window as well, thus reducing visible
brightness fluctuations.
You can play with value a little and reduce until you find a good balance
between refresh rate and flicker suppression.
Use this also if you want to have a stable baseline refresh rate when using
the vsync-multiple flag `-V` in the [led-image-viewer] or
[video-viewer] utility programs.
```
--led-scan-mode=<0..1> : 0 = progressive; 1 = interlaced (Default: 0).
```
This switches from progressive scan and interlaced scan. The latter might
look be a little nicer when you have a very low refresh rate, but typically
it is more annoying because of the comb-effect (remember 80ies TV ?).
```
--led-pwm-lsb-nanoseconds : PWM Nanoseconds for LSB (Default: 130)
```
This allows to change the base time-unit for the on-time in the lowest
significant bit in nanoseconds.
Lower values will allow higher frame-rate, but will also negatively impact
qualty in some panels (less accurate color or more ghosting).
Good values for full-color display (PWM=11) are somewhere between 100 and 300.
If you you use reduced bit color (e.g. PWM=1) and have sharp contrast
applications, then higher values might be good to minimize ghosting.
How to decide ? Just leave the default if things are fine. But some panels have
trouble with sharp contrasts and short pulses that results
in ghosting. It is particularly apparent in situations such as bright text
on black background. In these cases increase the value until you don't see
this ghosting anymore.
The following example shows how this might look like:
Ghosting with low --led-pwm-lsb-nanoseconds | No ghosting after tweaking
---------------------------------------------|------------------------------
![](img/text-ghosting.jpg) |![](img/text-no-ghosting.jpg)
If you tweak this value, watch the framerate (`--led-show-refresh`) while playing
with this number.
```
--led-pwm-dither-bits : Time dithering of lower bits (Default: 0)
```
The lower bits can be time dithered, i.e. their brightness contribution is
achieved by only showing them some frames (this is possible,
because the PWM is implemented as binary code modulation).
This will allow higher refresh rate (or same refresh rate with increased
`--led-pwm-lsb-nanoseconds`).
The disadvantage could be slightly lower brightness, in particular for longer
chains, and higher CPU use.
CPU use is not of concern for Rasbperry Pi 2 or 3 (as we run on a dedicated
core anyway) but proably for Raspberry Pi 1 or Pi Zero.
Default: no dithering; if you have a Pi 3 and struggle with low frame-rate due
to high multiplexing panels (1:16 or 1:32) or long chains, it might be
worthwhile to try.
```
--led-no-hardware-pulse : Don't use hardware pin-pulse generation.
```
This library uses a hardware subsystem that also is used by the sound. You can't
use them together. If your panel does not work, this might be a good start
to debug if it has something to do with the sound subsystem (see Troubleshooting
section). This is really only recommended for debugging; typically you actually
want the hardware pulses as it results in a much more stable picture.
<a name="no-drop-priv"/>
```
--led-no-drop-privs : Don't drop privileges from 'root' after initializing the hardware.
```
You need to start programs as root as it needs to access some low-level hardware
at initialization time. After that, it is typically not desirable to stay in this
role, so the library then drops the privileges.
This flag allows to switch off this behavior, so that you stay root.
Not recommended unless you have a specific reason for it (e.g. you need root
to access other hardware or you do the privilege dropping yourself).
```
--led-daemon : Make the process run in the background as daemon.
```
If this is set, the program puts itself into the background (running
as 'daemon').
You might want this if started from an init script at boot-time.
```
--led-inverse : Switch if your matrix has inverse colors on.
--led-rgb-sequence : Switch if your matrix has led colors swapped (Default: "RGB")
```
These are if you have a different kind of LED panel in which the logic of the
color bits is reversed (`--led-inverse`) or where the Red, Green and Blue LEDs
are mixed up (`--led-rgb-sequence`). You know it when you see it.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Here are some tips in case things don't work as expected.
### Use minimal Raspbian distribution
In general, run a minimal configuration on your Pi.
* Do not use a graphical user interface (Even though the
Raspberry Pi foundation makes you believe that you can do that: don't.
Using a Pi with a GUI is a frustratingly slow use of an otherwise
perfectly good embedded device.).
Always operate your Raspberry Pi [headless].
* Switch off on-board sound (`dtparam=audio=off` in `/boot/config.txt`).
External USB sound adapters work, and are much better quality anyway,
so that is recommended if you happen to need sound. The on-board sound
uses a timing circuit that the RGB-Matrix needs (it seems in some
distributions, such as arch-linux, this is not enough and you need
to explicitly blacklist the snd_bcm2835 module).
* Don't run anything that messes in parallel with the GPIO pins, e.g.
PiGPIO library/daemon or devices that use the i2c or 1-wire interface if
they are on the same pins you need for the panel.
* I have also seen reports that on some Pis, the one-wire protocol is
enabled (w1-gpio). This will also not work (disable by removing
`dtoverlay=w1-gpio` in `/boot/config.txt`; or using `raspi-config`,
Interface Options -> 1-Wire)
* If you see some regular flickering, make sure that there is no other
process running on the system that could cause that. For instance, it is
known that merely running `top` creates a faint flicker every second it
updates. Or a regular ntp run can also cause flicker once a minute
(switch off with `sudo timedatectl set-ntp false`). Maybe instead you
might want to run ntp at system start-up but then not regularly updating.
There might be other things running regularly you don't need;
consider a `sudo systemctl stop cron` for instance.
To address some irregular flicker, consider the
[`--led-limit-refresh`](#misc-options) option.
* There are probably other processes that are running that you don't need
and remove them; I usually remove right away stuff I really don't need e.g.
```
sudo apt-get remove bluez bluez-firmware pi-bluetooth triggerhappy pigpio
```
Take a close look at your systemd (`systemctl`) and see if there are other
things running you don't need. If you have seen packages in standard
Raspbians that interfere with the matrix code, let me know to include it
here.
In general: This is why starting with a minimal installation is a good
idea: there is simply less cruft that you have to disable.
* It seems that more recent version of Raspbian Lite result in some faint
brightness fluctuations of the displays and it is not quite clear why (see
issue [#483](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/issues/483)).
If you are a Kernel person and can help figuring out what is
happening that would be very appreciated. Also, you might know a minimal
Linux distribution that is more suited for near realtime applications ?
The default install of **[Raspbian Lite][raspbian-lite]** or **[DietPi]**
seem to be good starting points, as they have a reasonably minimal
configuration to begin with. Raspbian Lite is not as lite anymore
as it used to be; I prefer DietPi these days.
### Bad interaction with Sound
If sound is enabled on your Pi, this will not work together with the LED matrix,
as both need the same internal hardware sub-system (a first test to see if you
are affected is to run the progrem with `--led-no-hardware-pulse` and see if
things work fine then).
If you run `lsmod` and see the `snd_bcm2835` module, this could be causing trouble.
(The library actually exits if it finds this module to be loaded).
In that case, you should create a kernel module blacklist file like the
following on your system and update your initramfs:
```
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rgb-matrix.conf
blacklist snd_bcm2835
EOF
sudo update-initramfs -u
```
Reboot and confirm that the module is not loaded.
### I have followed some tutorial on the Internet and it doesn't work
Well, if you use this library, please read the documentation provided _here_,
not on some other website. Most important for you to get started
is the [wiring guide](./wiring.md). There are some tutorials floating around
that refer to a very old version of this library.
### I have a Pi1 Revision1 and top part of Panel doesn't show green
Use `--led-gpio-mapping=regular-pi1`
### Logic level voltage not sufficient
Some panels don't interpret the 3.3V logic level well, or the RPi output drivers
have trouble driving longer cables, in particular with
faster Raspberry Pis Version 2. This results in artifacts like randomly
showing up pixels, color fringes, or parts of the panel showing 'static'.
If you encounter this, try these things
- Make sure to have as short as possible flat-cables connecting your
Raspberry Pi with the LED panel.
- In particular if the chips close to the input of the LED panel
read 74HC245 instead of 74HCT245 or 74AHCT245, then this board will not
work properly with 3.3V inputs coming from the Pi.
Use an [adapter board](./adapter/active-3) with a bus-driver that acts as
level shifter between 3.3V and 5V.
(In any case, it is always a good idea to use the level shifters).
- A temporary hack to make HC245 inputs work with the 3.3V levels is to
supply only like 4V to the LED panel. But the colors will be off, so not
really useable as long-term solution.
- If you can't implement the above things, or still have problems, you can
slow down the GPIO writing a bit. This will of course reduce the
frame-rate, so it comes at a cost.
For GPIO slow-down, add the flag `--led-slowdown-gpio=2` to the invocation of
the binary.
If you have an Adafruit HAT or Bonnet
---------------------------
Generally, if you want to connect RGB panels via an adapter instead of
hand-wiring, I suggest to build one of the adapters whose open-hardware
files you find in the [adapter/](./adapter) subdirectory. It is a fun solder
exercise with large surface mount components.
However, Adafruit [offers an adapter][adafruit-hat] which is already ready-made,
but it only allows for a single chain. If the
ready-made vs. single-chain tradeoff is worthwhile, then you might go for that
(I am not affiliated with Adafruit).
### Switch the Pinout
The Adafruit HAT/Bonnet uses this library but a modified pinout to support other
features on the HAT. You can choose the Adafruit pinout with a command line
flag.
Just pass the option `--led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat`. This works on the C++
and Python examples.
### Improving flicker
To improve flicker, we need to do a little hardware modification,
but it is very simple: solder a wire between GPIO 4 and 18 as shown in the
following picture (click to enlarge):
<a href="img/adafruit-mod.jpg"><img src="img/adafruit-mod.jpg" height="80px"></a>
Then, start your programs with `--led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat-pwm`.
Now you should have less visible flicker. This essentially
switches on the hardware pulses feature for the Adafruit HAT/Bonnet.
### 64x64 with E-line on Adafruit HAT/Bonnet
There are LED panels that have 64x64 LEDs packed, but they need 5 address lines,
which is 1:32 multiplexing (they have an `E` address-line). The first generation
of the Adafruit HAT/Bonnet was not prepared for this, but it can be done with another
hardware mod. Beginning October 2018, Adafruit began selling an updated version of
the HAT that supports 64x64 panels simply by bridging two pads on the PCB with solder.
You can identify which HAT you have by looking for the **Address E** pads, circled here:
<a href="https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/063/005/original/led_matrices_addr-e-pad.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/063/005/original/led_matrices_addr-e-pad.jpg" height=80></a>
### New Adafruit RGB Matrix Hat (with Address E pads)
Look for the Address E pads located between the HUB75 connector and Pi camera cutout.
Melt a blob of solder between the center “E” pad the the “8” pad just above it
(for 64x64 matrices in the Adafruit shop)…*_or_* the “16” pad below (rare, for some
third-party 64x64 matrices…check datasheet).
### Old Adafruit HAT/Bonnet (without)
It is a little more advanced hack, so it is only really for people who are
comfortable with this kind of thing.
First, you have to figure out which is the input of the E-Line on your matrix
(they seem to be either on Pin 4 or Pin 8 of the IDC connector).
You need to disconnect that Pin from the ground plane (e.g. with an Exacto
knife) and connect GPIO 24 to it. The following images illustrate the case for
IDC Pin 4.
<a href="img/adafruit-64x64-front.jpg"><img src="img/adafruit-64x64-front.jpg" height="80px"></a>
<a href="img/adafruit-64x64-back.jpg"><img src="img/adafruit-64x64-back.jpg" height="80px"></a>
If the direct connection does not work, you need to send it through a free
level converter of the Adafruit HAT/Bonnet. Since all unused inputs are grounded
with traces under the chip, this involves lifting a leg from the
HCT245 (figure out a free bus driver from the schematic). If all of the
above makes sense to you, you have the Ninja level to do it!
It might be more convienent at this point to consider the [Active3 adapter](./adapter/active-3)
that has that covered already.
Running as root
---------------
The library requires to access hardware registers to control the LED matrix,
and create accurate timings. These hardware accesses require to run as root
user.
For security reasons, it is usually not a good idea to run an application
as root entirely, so this library makes sure to drop privileges immediately
after the hardware is initialized.
You can switch off the privilege dropping with the
[`--led-no-drop-privs`](#user-content-no-drop-priv) flag, or, if you do this
programmatically,
choose the configuration in the
[`RuntimeOptions struct`](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/blob/master/include/led-matrix.h#L401).
Note, you _could_ run as non-root, which will use `/dev/gpiomem`
to at least write to GPIO, however the precise timing hardware registers are
not accessible. This will result in flicker and color degradation. Starting
as non-root is not recommended.
CPU use
-------
These displays need to be updated constantly to show an image with PWMed
LEDs. This is dependent on the length of the chain: for each chain element,
about 1'000'000 write operations have to happen every second!
(chain_length * 32 pixel long * 16 rows * 11 bit planes * 180 Hz refresh rate).
We can't use hardware support for writing these as DMA is too slow,
thus the constant CPU use on an RPi is roughly 30-40% of one core.
Keep that in mind if you plan to run other things on this computer (This
is less noticable on Raspberry Pi, Version 2 or 3 that has more cores).
Also, the output quality is susceptible to other heavy tasks running on that
computer - there might be changes in the overall brigthness when this affects
the referesh rate.
If you have a loaded system and one of the newer Pis with 4 cores, you can
reserve one core just for the refresh of the display:
```
isolcpus=3
```
.. at the end of the line of `/boot/cmdline.txt` (needs to be in the same as
the other arguments, no newline). This will use the last core
only to refresh the display then, but it also means, that no other process can
utilize it then. Still, I'd typically recommend it.
Performance improvements and limits
-----------------------------------
Regardless of which driving hardware you use, ultimately you can only push pixels
so fast to a string of panels before you get flickering due to too low a refresh
rate (less than 80-100Hz), or before you refresh the panel lines too fast and they
appear too dim because each line is not displayed long enough before it is turned off.
Basic performance tips:
- Use --led-show-refresh to see the refresh rate while you try parameters
- use an active-3 board with led-parallel=3
- led-pwm-dither-bits=1 gives you a speed boost but less brightness
- led-pwm-lsb-nanoseconds=50 also gives you a speed boost but less brightness
- led-pwm-bits=7 or even lower decrease color depth but increases refresh speed
- AB panels and other panels with that use values of led-multiplexing bigger than 0,
will also go faster, although as you tune more options given above, their advantage will decrease.
- 32x16 ABC panels are faster than ABCD which are faster than ABCDE, which are faster than 128x64 ABC panels
(which do use 5 address lines, but over only 3 wires)
- Use at least an rPi3 (rPi4 is still slightly faster but may need --led-slowdown-gpio=2)
Maximum resolutions reasonably achievable:
A general rule of thumb is that running 16K pixels (128x128 or otherwise) on a single chain,
is already pushing limits and you will have to make tradeoffs in visual quality. 32K pixels
(like 128x256) is definitely pushing things and you'll get 100Hz or less depending on the
performance options you choose.
This puts the maximum reasonable resolution around 100K pixels (like 384x256) for 3 chains.
You can see more examples and video capture of speed on [Marc MERLIN's page 'RGB Panels, from 192x80, to 384x192, to 384x256 and maybe not much beyond'](http://marc.merlins.org/perso/arduino/post_2020-03-13_RGB-Panels_-from-192x80_-to-384x192_-to-384x256-and-maybe-not-much-beyond.html)
If your refresh rate is below 300Hz, expect likely black bars when taking cell phone pictures.
A real camera with shutter speed lowered accordingly, will get around this.
Ultimately, you should not expect to go past 64K pixels using 3 chains without significant
quality tradeoffs. If you need bigger displays, you should use multiple boards and synchronize the
output.
Limitations
-----------
If you are using the Adafruit HAT/Bonnet in the default configuration, then we
can't make use of the PWM hardware (which only outputs
to a particular pin), so you'll see random brightness glitches. I strongly
suggest to do the aforementioned hardware mod.
The system needs constant CPU to update the display. Using the DMA controller
was considered but after extensive experiments
( https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-gpio-dma-demo )
dropped due to its slow speed..
There is an upper limit in how fast the GPIO pins can be controlled, which
limits the frame-rate. Raspberry Pi 2's and newer are generally faster.
Even with everything in place, you might see faint brightness fluctuations
in particular if there is something going on on the network or in a terminal
on the Pi; this could probably be mitigated with some more real-time
kernel for the Pi; maybe there are also hardware limitations (memory bus
contention?). Anyway, if you have a realtime kernel configuration that you
have optimized for this application, let me know.
To address the brightness fluctuations, you might experiment with the
`FIXED_FRAME_MICROSECONDS` compile time option in [lib/Makefile](lib/Makefile)
that has instructions how to set it up.
Fun

I am always happy to see users successfully using the software for wonderful
things, like this installation by Dirk in Scharbeutz, Germany:

PCB adapter for Raspberry Pi to Hub75 RGB Matrixes
==================================================
Since hand-wiring can be a little tedious, here are some PCBs that help
with the wiring when using the `rpi-rgb-led-matrix` code.
* [Passive-3](./passive-3) Supports three parallel chains, directly connected
to the output of a Rapsberry Pi with 40 GPIO pins. Works, but usually it is better to
buffer the outputs using the ...
* [Active-3](./active-3) board. Supports three parallel chains with active buffering
and 3.3V -> 5V level shifting for best reliability. Requires SMD soldering.
As another option you can buy it from these locations not affiliated with this project.
They are given to help you locate premade boards but no guarantees are given or implied:
* https://www.electrodragon.com/product/rgb-matrix-panel-drive-board-raspberry-pi/
($3/board, but fairly long and/or expensive shipping from HKG)
* Seller #2 (fill me)
* The [Passive-RPi1](./passive-rpi1) adapter board is to connect one panel to
Raspberry Pi 1 with 26 GPIO pins.

Adapter PCB to support up to 3 panel chains
===========================================
* Supports up to three panel chains for newer plus models and
Raspberry Pi 2 that have 40 GPIO pins.
* Uses HCT245 to level shift signals from 3.3V to 5V and shield
the Raspberry Pi GPIOs from overloading.
* Open source KiCAD PCB EDA format.
* Optional: Pads to power the Pi with 5V, including optional capacitor footprints.
* Connector for RxD input (literally the only GPIO pin left) in case you want to
make your panel controlled with a serial interface (3.3V logic level).
* Provides a way to choose the pinout for different kinds of 64x64 matrixes.
* (not very pretty layout, was just lazy and let the auto-router generate the first pass)
* BOM:
- 4x 74HCT245 or 74AHCT245 in 20-SOIC, 7.5mm package which should make
it easy to hand-solder. Make sure to get the variant with the **T**: HC**T** or AHC**T**
(there are also HC or AHC, don't use these).
- 4x 100nF ceramic capacitor (0805 package)
- 1x 10kOhm resistor (0805 package). Not critcial, just a pullup (2.2k .. 15k probably ok).
- 3x 16pin IDC (=2x8) male receptible to connect the panels.
- 1x 40pin female connector to connect to the RPi.
- 1x (optional) 22μF .. 100μF capacitor for 5V rail (either 1206 SMD or
radial electrolytic with 2.5mm pitch/6.3mm diameter)
* The Gerber FAB files are provided as [active3-rpi-hub75-adapter-fab.zip](./active3-rpi-hub75-adapter-fab.zip)
The board is also [shared on OSH Park][osh-active3] (not affiliated).
![Preview][rendering]
![Real World][real-world]
Essentially, this is connecting the output pins through level shifting buffers (they
are operated at 5V, but the HCT series chips accept 3.3V input levels from the Pi). The
strobe, OE and clock signals are separately buffered for each connector.
![Schematic][schematic]
## Optional
### Power in
The area on the left has 5V/GND input pads, that allow you to power your Raspberry Pi from
a 5V source ... which you are likely to have as you are powering the LED Matrix. This is often
more convenient than using the USB connector to power the Pi.
If you do that, there are pads to add a capacitor to smooth the supply - two footprints are
provided: C5 and C6 for through-hole or surface mount components. The value is not critical;
I usually use a 22μF/6.3V ceramic capacitor on the C6 pads.
### Choose E-Line for 64x64 panels with 1:32 multiplexing
If you have a 64x64 matrix with 1:32 multiplexing, you need to supply an `E`-address line to it.
While the Address lines `A` to `D` have fixed positions on the Hub75 connector, there
seem to be two different ways to connect the `E` address line: it is either on pin 4 or pin 8
of the connector. So this adapter board provides the flexibility to choose the right pin for
your matrix.
Look at the back of the matrix or the documentation to find out for your specific board where
to connect E.
Once you know that, the jumper area in the bottom left of this adapter board allows to choose
to which pin to connect the E-address line to. The corresponding other pin should be connected
to GND. Simply solder a wire bridge as indicated below (or use a jumper that you can change later).
If you are not using such 64x64 matrix, you can connect both these pins to GND.
Here are the typical configurations:
No 1:32 64x64: to GND | E-Line on Pin 4 | E-Line on Pin 8|
-------------------------|-------------------|----------------
![][config-default] |![][config-pin4] |![][config-pin8]
### Input for serial RxD
If you are not using a 64x64 display that occupies the E-Line, you can use the RxD serial input -
this might come in handy if you are using the display to be controlled by a serial line. Be aware
that the input requires 3.3V level, so if you have a RS232, make sure to first adapt the levels.

Adapter PCB to support up to 3 panel chains
===========================================
* This is a passive board. It is simple, but the logic level will be out of
spec for the LED matrix (3.3V vs. 5V) which might or might not work.
Driving long cables with the GPIO pins is also not a good idea.
* You typically want to consider using the [active board](../active-3).
* Works for Matrix up to 1:16 multiplexing (32 rows). For 1:32 multiplexing,
you want to use the [active board](../active-3). You can of also hack
this board as [suggested in this bugtracker entry](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/issues/360#issuecomment-321104348) to make it work with
64x64 boards.
* Only really advisable, if the LED panels have 74HCT245 (as opposed to just
74HC245) in their input stage, because then they can deal properly with
the 3.3V logic levels coming from the Pi.
* Supports up to three panel chains for newer plus models and
Raspberry Pi 2/3 that have 40 GPIO pins.
* Open source KiCAD PCB EDA format.
* (not very pretty layout, was just lazy and let the auto-router do it).
* The FAB files are provided as [passive3-rpi-hub75-adapter-fab.zip](./passive3-rpi-hub75-adapter-fab.zip)
This board is [shared on OSH Park][osh-passive3] (not affiliated).

Adapter PCB to connect to Rasbperry Pi1
=======================================
* Passive board. Simple, but might need to define `--led-slowdown-gpio` if you see
glitches.
* Supports one panel connected to a 26 pin Raspberry Pi 1. If you have a newer RPi,
check out the [Passive 3](../passive-3) or [Active 3](../active-3) adapter.
* Open source KiCAD PCB EDA format.
* (not very pretty layout, was just lazy and let the auto-router do it).
* The FAB files are provided as [passive-rpi-hub75-adapter-fab.zip](./passive-rpi-hub75-adapter-fab.zip)

C# bindings for RGB Matrix library
======================================
Building
--------
To build the C# wrapper for the RGB Matrix C library you need to first have __.NET SDK__ installed.
### Install .NET SDK
`sudo apt install dotnet6` should work in most cases.
For some old distributions, read [docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/install/linux)
Then, in the `bindings/c#` directory type: `dotnet build`
To run the example applications in the c#\examples\EXAMPLE folder: `sudo dotnet run`

Python bindings for RGB Matrix library
======================================
Building
--------
If you have a different than the standard wiring (for instance if you have an
Adafruit HAT), you can edit the [../../lib/Makefile](../../lib/Makefile#L26) first to choose
the hardware in question (see below for setting it via command line argument).
Then, in the root directory for the matrix library simply type:
### Python 2
```shell
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev python-pillow -y
make build-python
sudo make install-python
```
### Python 3
You can also build for Python 3:
```shell
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pillow -y
make build-python PYTHON=$(command -v python3)
sudo make install-python PYTHON=$(command -v python3)
```
### PyPy
The cython binding to PyPy seems to be somewhat working but extremely slow (20x
slower even than the regular Python binding, 160x slower than C++), so this is
not recommended.
So Cython is not good together with PyPy which works best with a
[CFFI](https://cffi.readthedocs.io/) binding. @Duality4Y did an experiment here
https://github.com/Duality4Y/rgb-matrix-cffi which works well with PyPy and is
about twice as fast as running Python3+cython (but Python3+cffi is slower than
Python3+cython, so we can't just replace everything with cffi).
Of course, it would be nice to have the fastest possible binding to all kinds
of Python interpreters. If anyone wants to work on that, this would certainly
be a welcome pull request.
Performance
-----------
The simplicity of scripting comes at a price: Python is slower than C++ of
course.
If you have to do a lot of pixel updates in your demo, this can be too slow
depending on what you do. Here are some rough numbers for calling `SetPixel()`
in a tight loop:
* On a Pi-2 and Pi-3, a Python script will be about 1/8 of the speed compared
to the corresponding C++ program (pushing ~0.43 Megapixels/s Python
vs. ~3.5 Megapixels/s C++ on a Pi-3 for instance)
* On a Pi-1/Pi Zero, the difference is even worse: 1/24 of the speed to the
corresponding C++ program. Given that this Pi is already about 1/10 the
speed of a Pi-3, this almost makes Python unusable on a Pi-1
(~0.015 Megapixels/s Python vs. ~0.36 Megapixels/s C++)
* Also interesting: Python3 is a little bit slower than Python2.7.
So if you can, stick with Python2.7 for now.
* The good news is, that this is due to overhead per function call. If you
can do more per function call, then this is less problematic. For instance
if you have an image to be displayed with `SetImage()`, that will much
faster per pixel (internally this then copies the pixels natively).
The ~0.015 Megapixels/s on a Pi-1 means that you can update a 32x32 matrix
at most with ~15fps. If you have chained 5, then you barely reach 3fps.
In a Pi-3, you get about 400fps update rate (85fps for 5-chain) with a Python
program (while with C++, you can do the same thing with a comfortable 3500fps
(700fps for 5)). Keep in mind that this is if all you do is just calling
`SetPixel()`, it does not include any time of what you actually want to do in
your demo - so anything in addition to that will drop your update rate.
If you can prepare the animation you want to show, then you can either prepare
images and then use the much faster call to `SetImage()`, or can fill
entire offscreen-frames (create with `CreateFrameCanvas()`) and then
swap with `SwapOnVSync()` (this is the fastest method).
Using the library
-----------------
Be aware of the fact that using the full performance of the RGBMatrix requires root privileges.
Therefore you should run all you python scripts as using `sudo`.
You may find examples in the [samples/](./samples) subdirectory.
The examples all use the [samplebase.py](./samples/samplebase.py) that provides
some basic capabilities to all example programs, such as command-line parsing: all
sample-programs accept `--led-rows`, `--led-chain` and `--led-parallel` as
command line options to adapt to your configuration
```bash
cd samples
sudo ./runtext.py --led-chain=4
```
To use different wiring without recompiling the library to change the default,
you can use `--led-gpio-mapping` (or `-m`). For example, to use Adafruit HAT:
```bash
sudo ./runtext.py --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat
```
Here is a complete example showing how to write an image viewer:
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
import time
import sys
from rgbmatrix import RGBMatrix, RGBMatrixOptions
from PIL import Image
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
sys.exit("Require an image argument")
else:
image_file = sys.argv[1]
image = Image.open(image_file)
# Configuration for the matrix
options = RGBMatrixOptions()
options.rows = 32
options.chain_length = 1
options.parallel = 1
options.hardware_mapping = 'regular' # If you have an Adafruit HAT: 'adafruit-hat'
matrix = RGBMatrix(options = options)
# Make image fit our screen.
image.thumbnail((matrix.width, matrix.height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
matrix.SetImage(image.convert('RGB'))
try:
print("Press CTRL-C to stop.")
while True:
time.sleep(100)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
sys.exit(0)
```
## API
The source of truth for what is available in the Python bindings may be found [here](rgbmatrix/core.pyx) (RGBMatrix, FrameCanvas, RGBMatrixOptions) and [here](rgbmatrix/graphics.pyx) (graphics). The underlying implementation's ground truth documentation may be found [here](../../include), specifically for [RGBMatrix, RGBMatrixOptions, and FrameCanvas](../../include/led-matrix.h), [Canvas](../../include/canvas.h) (base class of RGBMatrix), and [graphics methods and Font](../../include/graphics.h).
### User
As noted in the Performance section above, Python programs not run as `root` will not be as high-performance as those run as `root`. When running as `root`, be aware of a potentially-unexpected behavior: to reduce the security attack surface, initializing an RGBMatrix as `root` changes the user from `root` to `daemon` (see [#1170](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/issues/1170) for more information) by default. This means, for instance, that some file operations possible before initializing the RGBMatrix will not be possible after initialization. To disable this behavior, set `drop_privileges=False` in RGBMatrixOptions, but be aware that doing so will reduce security.

Running some demos
------------------
Let's start by running some demos, then we can dive into code. The
[demo-main.cc](demo-main.cc) has some testing demos. Via command line flags,
you can choose the display type you have (16x32 or 32x32), and how many you
have chained and paralleled. For detailed description of these flags see the
[main README section](../README.md#changing-parameters-via-command-line-flags)
about it.

10 - Evolution of color (-m <time-step-ms>)
11 - Brightness pulse generator
Example:
./demo -D 1 runtext.ppm
Scrolls the runtext until Ctrl-C is pressed
```
To run the actual demos, you need to run this as root so that the
GPIO pins can be accessed; as soon as that established, the program will drop
the privileges.
Here is how demo '1' looks. It requires a ppm (type raw) with a height of
32 pixel - it is infinitely scrolled over the screen; for
convenience, there is a little runtext.ppm example included:
$ sudo ./demo -D 1 runtext.ppm
Here is a video of how it looks
[![Runtext][run-vid]](http://youtu.be/OJvEWyvO4ro)
Other Examples
--------------
There are a few other examples that you can use as starting point for your
own exploration of the API. If you just type `make` in this directory, the
Makefile will build all of these, so they are ready to use. Some examples
need BDF fonts, of which there are a few provided in [../fonts](../fonts).
Some of these example programs are described in more detail further down this
page.
* [minimal-example](./minimal-example.cc) Good to get started with the API
* [image-example](./image-example.cc) How to show an image (requires to install the graphics magic library, see in the header of that demo)
* [text-example](./text-example.cc) Reads text from stdin and displays it.
* [scrolling-text-example](./scrolling-text-example.cc) Scrolls a text
given on the command-line.
* [clock](./clock.cc) Shows a clock with choosable date format string in
one or multiple lines.
* [input-example](./input-example.cc) Example how to use the LED-Matrix but
also read inputs from free GPIO-pins. Needed if you build some interactive
piece.
* [ledcat](./ledcat.cc) LED-cat compatible reading of pixels from stdin.
* [pixel-mover](./pixel-mover.cc) Displays pixel on the display
and it's expected position on the terminal. Helpful for testing panels and
figuring out new multiplexing mappings.
Shows single dot or leaves a trail with length passed with `-t` option
(think of 'snake').
Can move around the pixel with W=Up, S=Down, A=Left, D=Right keys.
Using the API
-------------
While there is the demo program and the [utilities](../utils), this code can
be used independently as a library to be used in your own programs.
The includes are in `include/`, the library to link is built
in `lib/`. This is a C++ also with C bindings. There is also a
[Python](../bindings/python) and [c#](../bindings/c%23) bindings.
Getting started
---------------
The relevant part to start with is to look at
[led-matrix.h](../include/led-matrix.h).
You can would typically use the `RGBMatrix::CreateFromFlags()` factory to
create an RGBMatrix and then go from there.
```C++
#include "led-matrix.h"
using rgb_matrix::RGBMatrix;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
// Set some defaults
RGBMatrix::Options my_defaults;
my_defaults.hardware_mapping = "regular"; // or e.g. "adafruit-hat" or "adafruit-hat-pwm"
my_defaults.chain_length = 3;
my_defaults.show_refresh_rate = true;
rgb_matrix::RuntimeOptions runtime_defaults;
// If you drop privileges, the root user you start the program with
// to be able to initialize the hardware will be switched to an unprivileged
// user to minimize a potential security attack surface.
runtime_defaults.drop_privileges = 1;
RGBMatrix *matrix = RGBMatrix::CreateFromFlags(&argc, &argv,
&my_defaults,
&runtime_defaults);
if (matrix == NULL) {
PrintMatrixFlags(stderr, my_defaults, runtime_defaults);
return 1;
}
// matrix->ApplyPixelMapper(...); // Optional
// Do your own command line handling with the remaining options.
// .. now use matrix
delete matrix; // Make sure to delete it in the end.
}
```
The `RGBMatrix` is essentially a canvas, it provides some basic functionality
such as `SetPixel()`, `Fill()` or `Clear()`. If you want to do more, you
might be interested in functions provided in the
[graphics.h](../include/graphics.h) header.
If you have animations, you might be interested in double-buffering. There is
a way to create new canvases with `CreateFrameCanvas()`, and then use
`SwapOnVSync()` to change the content atomically. See API documentation for
details.
Start with the [minimal-example.cc](./minimal-example.cc) to start.
If you are interested in drawing text and the font drawing functions in
graphics.h, have a look at the [text example](./text-example.cc):
```
sudo ./text-example -f ../fonts/8x13.bdf
hello
```
<img src="../img/text-no-ghosting.jpg" height="100px">
How about a clock ?
```
sudo ./clock -f ../fonts/7x13.bdf --led-chain=2 -d "%A" -d "%H:%M:%S"
```
<img src="../img/time-display.jpg" height="100px">
Fonts are in a human readable and editbable `*.bdf` format. There are some
public domain fonts available in the [`../fonts/`](../fonts) directory. Any
other fonts you might want to use or scale to the size you need can be
converted to a BDF format (either with a font editor or the [otf2bdf] tool).
Here is an example how you could create a 30pixel high BDF font from some
TrueType font:
```bash
otf2bdf -v -o myfont.bdf -r 72 -p 30 /path/to/font-Bold.ttf
```
Integrating in your own application
-----------------------------------
Until this library shows up in your favorite Linux distribution, you can just
include the library via github; it is pretty easy to be up-to-date.
I suggest to add this code as a sub-module in your git repository. That way
you can use that particular version and easily update it if there are changes:
git submodule add https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix.git matrix
(Read more about how to use [submodules in git][git-submodules])
This will check out the repository in a subdirectory `matrix/`.
The library to build would be in directory `matrix/lib`, so let's hook that
into your toplevel Makefile.
I suggest to set up some variables like this; you only need to change the
location `RGB_LIB_DISTRIBUTION` is pointing to; in the sub-module example, this
was the `matrix` directory:
RGB_LIB_DISTRIBUTION=matrix
RGB_INCDIR=$(RGB_LIB_DISTRIBUTION)/include
RGB_LIBDIR=$(RGB_LIB_DISTRIBUTION)/lib
RGB_LIBRARY_NAME=rgbmatrix
RGB_LIBRARY=$(RGB_LIBDIR)/lib$(RGB_LIBRARY_NAME).a
LDFLAGS+=-L$(RGB_LIBDIR) -l$(RGB_LIBRARY_NAME) -lrt -lm -lpthread
Also, you want to add a target to build the libary in your sub-module
# (FYI: Make sure, there is a TAB-character in front of the $(MAKE))
$(RGB_LIBRARY):
$(MAKE) -C $(RGB_LIBDIR)
Now, your final binary needs to depend on your objects and also the
`$(RGB_LIBRARY)`
my-binary : $(OBJECTS) $(RGB_LIBRARY)
$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS)
As an example, see the [PixelPusher implementation][pixelpush] which is using
this library in a git sub-module.
If you are writing your own Makefile, make sure to pass the `-O3` option to
the compiler to make sure to generate fast code.
Note, all the types provided are in the `rgb_matrix` namespace. That way, they
won't clash with other types you might use in your code; in particular pretty
common names such as `GPIO` or `Canvas` might run into clashing trouble.
Anyway, for convenience you just might add using-declarations in your
code:
// Types exported by the RGB-Matrix library.
using rgb_matrix::Canvas;
using rgb_matrix::GPIO;
using rgb_matrix::RGBMatrix;
Or, if you are lazy, just import the whole namespace:
using namespace rgb_matrix;
Read the [`minimal-example.cc`](./minimal-example.cc) to get started, then
have a look into [`demo-main.cc`](./demo-main.cc).
## Remapping coordinates ##
You might choose a different physical layout than the wiring provides.
There is an option `--led-pixel-mapper` that allows you to choose between
some re-mapping options, and also programmatic ways to do so.
### Standard mappers
#### U-mapper (U-shape connection)
Say you have 4 displays with 32x32 and only a single output
like with a Raspberry Pi 1 or the Adafruit HAT -- if we chain
them, we get a display 32 pixel high, (4*32)=128 pixel long. If we arrange
the boards in a U-shape so that they form a square, we get a logical display
of 64x64 pixels:
<img src="../img/chained-64x64.jpg" width="400px"> In action:
[![PixelPusher video][pp-vid]](http://youtu.be/ZglGuMaKvpY)
```
So the following chain (Viewed looking at the LED-side of the panels)
[<][<][<][<] }- Raspbery Pi connector
is arranged in this U-shape (on its side)
[<][<] }----- Raspberry Pi connector
[>][>]
```
Now we need to internally map pixels the pixels so that the 'folded' 128x32
screen behaves like a 64x64 screen.
There is a pixel-mapper that can help with this "U-Arrangement", you choose
it with `--led-pixel-mapper=U-mapper`. So in this particular case,
```
./demo --led-chain=4 --led-pixel-mapper="U-mapper"
```
This works for longer and more than one chain as well. Here an arrangement with
two chains with 8 panels each
```
[<][<][<][<] }--- Pi connector #1
[>][>][>][>]
[<][<][<][<] }--- Pi connector #2
[>][>][>][>]
```
(`--led-chain=8 --led-parallel=2 --led-pixel-mapper="U-mapper"`).
#### V-mapper and Vmapper:Z (Vertical arrangement)
By default, when you add panels on a chain, they are added horizontally.
If you have 2 panels of 64x32, you get 128x32.
The V-mapper allows the stacking to be vertical and not horizontal and
get the 64x64 you might want.
By default, all the panels are correct side up, and you need more cable length
as you need to cross back to the start of the next panel.
If you wish to use shorter cables, you can add use Vmapper:Z which will give
you serpentine cabling and every other panel will be upside down (see below
for an example).
It is compatible with parallel chains, so you can have multiple stacks
of panels all building a coherent overall display.
Here an example with 3 chains of 4 panels (128x64) for a total of about
98k display pixels.
```
./demo --led-rows=64 --led-cols=128 --led-chain=4 -led-parallel=3 --led-pixel-mapper=V-mapper -D0
```
Viewed looking the LED-side of the panels:
```
Vmapper Vmapper:Z
[O < I] [O < I] [O < I] [I > O] [I > O] [I > O]
,---^ ,---^ ,---^ ^ ^ ^
[O < I] [O < I] [O < I] [O < I] [O < I] [O < I]
,---^ ,---^ ,---^ ^ ^ ^
[O < I] [O < I] [O < I] [I > O] [I > O] [I > O]
,---^ ,---^ ,---^ ^ ^ ^
[O < I] [O < I] [O < I] [O < I] [O < I] [O < I]
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
#1 #2 #3 #1 #2 #3
Pi connector (three parallel chains of len 4)
```
(This is also a good time to notice that 384x256 with 12 128x64 panels, is probably an
upper limit of what you can reasonably output without having an unusable fresh
rate (Try these options to help: --led-pwm-bits=7 --led-pwm-dither-bits=1 and get about 100Hz)).
This shows the wiring of a 3x5 Vmapper:Z array built by Marc MERLIN, using 15x 64x32 panels:
![Vmapper_Z_192x160_3x5.jpg](../img/Vmapper_Z_192x160_3x5.jpg)
With --led-pwm-bits=7 --led-pwm-dither-bits=1, it gets a better 300Hz refresh
but only offers around 31K pixels instead of 98K pixels in the previous example.
Please note that Vmapper can also be used to improve the refresh rate of a long
display even if it is only one panel high (e.g. for a text running output) by
splitting the load into multiple parallel chains.
```
[O < I] [O < I] [O < I]
^ ^ ^
#1 #2 #3 Pi connector (three parallel chains of len 1)
```
#### Rotate
The "Rotate" mapper allows you to rotate your screen. It takes an angle
as parameter after a colon:
```
./demo --led-pixel-mapper="Rotate:90"
```
#### Mirror
The 'Mirror' mapper allows to mirror the output horizontally or vertically.
Without parameter, it mirrors horizontally. The parameter is a single character
'H' or 'V' for horizontal or vertical mirroring.
```
./demo --led-pixel-mapper="Mirror:H"
```
#### Combining Mappers
You can chain multiple mappers in the configuration, by separating them
with a semicolon. The mappers are applied in the sequence you give them, so
if you want to arrange a couple of panels with the U-arrangement, and then
rotate the resulting screen, use
```
./demo --led-chain=8 --led-parallel=3 --led-pixel-mapper="U-mapper;Rotate:90"
```
Here, we first create a 128x192 screen (4 panels wide (`4*32=128`),
with three folded chains (`6*32=192`)) and then rotate it by 90 degrees to
get a 192x128 screen.
#### Programmatic access
If you want to choose these mappers programmatically from your program and
not via the flags, you can do this by setting the `pixel_mapper_config` option
in the options struct in C++ or Python.
```
options.pixel_mapper_config = "Rotate:90";
```
### Writing your own mappers
If you want to write your own mappers, e.g. if you have a fancy panel
arrangement, you can do so using the API provided.
In the API, there is an interface to implement,
a [`PixelMapper`](../include/pixel-mapper.h) that allows to program
re-arrangements of pixels in any way. You can plug such an implementation of
a `PixelMapper` into the RGBMatrix to use it:
```
bool RGBMatrix::ApplyPixelMapper(const PixelMapper *mapper);
```
If you want, you can also register your PixelMapper globally before you
parse the command line options; then this pixel-mapper is automatically
provided in the `--led-pixel-mapper` command line option:
```
RegisterPixelMapper(new MyOwnPixelMapper());
RGBMatrix *matrix = RGBMatrix::CreateFromFlags(...);
```
Now your mapper can be used alongside (and combined with) the standard
mappers already there (e.g. "U-mapper" or "Rotate"). Your mapper can have
parameters: In the command-line flag, parameters provided after `:` are passed
as-is to your `SetParameters()` implementation
(e.g. using `--led-pixel-mapper="Rotate:90"`, the `Rotate` mapper
gets a parameter string `"90"` as parameter).
#### Multiplex Mappers
Sometimes you even need this for the panel itself: In some panels
(typically the 'outdoor panels', often with 1:4 multiplexing) the pixels
are not mapped in a straight-forward way, but in a snake arrangement for
instance.
There are simplified pixel mappers for this purpose, the
[multiplex mappers](../lib/multiplex-mappers.cc). These are defined there
and then can be accessed via the command line flag `--led-multiplexing=...`.
If you find that whatever parameter you give to `--led-multiplexing=` doesn't
work, you might need to write your own mapper (extend `MultiplexMapperBase`
and implement the one method `MapSinglePanel()`). Then register them with
the `CreateMultiplexMapperList()` function in that file. When you do this,
this will automatically become available in the `--led-multiplexing=` command
line option in C++ and Python.
