Introduction: How to Make Custom Characters for Led Matrix
It Is So Simple To Make Our Own Custom Characters In Led Matrix For That
We Can Use A Simple App Called Pixel To Matrix
By Using This App Everyone Can Make There Own Custom Characters In Led Matrix
From There Own Imagination................ Isnt It Cool
Check This Instructable :) ;)
Step 1: How to Control Led Matrix to Arduino
How To Control Led Matrix Using Arduino :--
Check This Video & Instructable If You Are Not Familier With The Connection Of Led Matrix With Arduino

Step 2:
Do Not Bother About These much Steps These I Have Done To Make Everything More Clear To You
Go & Proceed With The Next Step :) ;) ..........
Step 3: Download the Files
Downloaded These Files ..........
Pixel To Matrix Application :-- http://www.mediafire.com/file/61o1hbqss52ksyt/Pixe...
Code :-- http://www.mediafire.com/file/23n440p13tat3th/LCDe...
Step 4:
Need To Extract the Pixel To Matrix App
Step 5:
Open The Extracted File ........
Step 6:
This Is The Pixel To Matrix App
The App Is Same As That Of 8*8 Led Matrix
Which Has 8 Rows & 8 Columns
Step 7:
Click On The Squares To Make Patterns .....
Step 8:
Then Click The Generate Button To Get The Code .........
Step 9:
This Is The Arduino Code For Led Matrix
Step 10:
Copy The Code ........
Step 11:
Open The Notepad To Paste The Code ....
Step 12:
Paste The Code Here ......
Step 13:
Click To Make The Patterns .......
Step 14:
Copy The Code ...........
Step 15:
Again Paste The Code On The Notepad ..........
Step 16:
Continue Making The Patterns In The App And Copy The Code
Step 17:
Paste The Code In Notepad Till Your Wish To Display The Patterns Which Was Made In The Pixel To Matrix App
Step 18:
Then Open The Arduino Code ........
Step 19:
Delete These Lines ..........
Step 20:
Then Type byte a[8]= {
Step 21:
Then Type byte b[8]= {
Step 22:
Type Till byte j[8]= {
I Have j Lines In My Notepad Code
So That I Have Made It To byte j[8]= {
Step 23:
Then Open The Notepad & Copy The First Line Of Code
& Paste The Code In The Arduino Code
After Copying The Code Need To Type };
Step 24:
Paste The Lines Upto byte j[8]= {
From The Notepad
Step 25:
Delete These Lines In The Code ........
Step 26:
Then Type
printByte (a);
delay(1000);
Step 27:
Type Lines Upto ,
printByte (j);
delay(1000);
Beacuse Iam Having J Lines In The Notepad ...........
If U Have More Than J Lines You Can Type Upto That Line Or Vice Versa .........
Step 28:
Type } At The End Of The Line ............
Step 29:
After That Click Verify ....
To Check For Any Errors Or Mistakes ......
