The base driver for the LED Matrix module requires the user to manipulate bits of an eight byte array to set the on/off state of individual leds. This helper provides a set of properties and methods that allow the user to control the module in a manner similar to the standard drawing APIs of Gadgeteer and MF.
[EDIT] Just realized that you may have been yanking my chain a bit, given the 3D comment. Not clear, but if you are considering further efforts in this direction, I’d be happy to collaborate…after MADExpo 2012 is in the books.
@ Mike - Cool.
FYI, @ ddurant had some good suggestions for how I could make my code a bit more efficient:
I haven’t had time yet to implement those changes, however, and I’m pretty swamped this week and next getting ready for MADExpo (http://madexpo.us/). So feel free to use any or all of the code from my project, with the caveat that ddurant’s suggested changes are probably a good idea to reduce the memory footprint.
I was pulling your leg. I would never yank your chain!
The LED Matrix module seems to me to be a great module looking for real use. I am not planning on
doing anything more with the helper until I find a problem/application which would fun to solve/implement.
I have a box full of modules which I need to play with…
