Example Code for Arduino-Scrolling Display
Last revision 2025/12/27
Demonstrate how to display scrolling text on the FireBeetle Covers-24×8 LED Matrix.
Hardware Preparation
- FireBeetle ESP32 IoT Microcontroller(SKU: DFR0478) ×1
- FireBeetle Covers-24×8 LED Matrix (Yellow)(SKU:DFR0487) ×1
- USB Cable ×1
Software Preparation
- Download Arduino IDE: Click to download Arduino IDE.
- Download and install the FireBeetleLEDMatrix
- For Arduino IDE V1.8.19 (or earlier), install the library manually: How to Add a Library?
Other Preparation Work
You can use ”setPixel“ to set the start point, and print str with ms srolling display.
print(str,ms): // str = string; ms = delay time
Sample Code
Initialize HT1632C display and scroll the string "DFROBOT 2017".
#include "DFRobot_HT1632C.h"
#define DATA D6
#define CS D2
#define WR D7
DFRobot_HT1632C ht1632c = DFRobot_HT1632C(DATA, WR,CS);
char str[] = " DFROBOT 2017";
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
// put your setup code here, to run once:
ht1632c.begin();
ht1632c.isLedOn(true);
ht1632c.clearScreen();
delay(500);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
ht1632c.print(str,50);
//delay(100);
}
Result
The text " DFROBOT 2017" scrolls across the LED matrix.
