Choose your device's name. It depends on what board you using. Mostly there is just one to choose from. If you have multiple devices plugged in make sure u take the correct one. Chek it's com port to be sure. Hope that this helped you out.

What I understand: You did upload the correct Ino file for Jinx to your arduino to work. ( you changed the necessary settings ( pin, leds,...)You made sure that the baudrate is correct.You installed Jinx and got it to run on your pc.You connected the arduino with a usb cable to your pc and found the correct COM port in Jinx.You changed the correct setting ins Jinx meaning you chose the correct pixel layout, size of the latrix and baudrate.You powered your arduino externally and keeped it connected to the pc.You started the output and chose one of the features to display.This should work. Do the leds show anything at all?Do you find your arduino in Jinx?Maybe other type of leds? -> change it in the ino file. Need a little bit more info to tell what could be the problem.

thanks will try it out, btw awesome project. Woule love to build one my own, but need to finds some time 😬

where did u order your custom made pcb's ?

Sure thing, the only thing u need to do is change the code. Wirering would be the same. Would like to see the result with more leds. Think it will look even greater 😁

That's weird. It's working fine for me. Maybe you have some addblocker remove the content? Try it with them dissabled

Did you upload the correct program to your nano board, before connecting it to tinx? The Spooky.ino file is written for WS2812B leds, you can change your leds in the file configuration. Normally it will adjust the brightness correctly. 255 is indeed max brightness, but you can change it of course as you wish.

Your are absolutly correct!

Links are working fine, just tested them

One way to do this is to connect the end of the data wire to the beginning of the other matrixes. I think it would be possible to connect multiple matrixes to the software, but i didn't test that.

This has to do with the way they were wired I think.See scematic for how I did this.The other possibility to solve this is to change the led coördinates to your's

Yeah it's nice!! Thx for the reply

I used the default settings. I changed the size to a 16by16 matrix and selected the 1 output that was availleble.If you see multiple devices. I would say, unplug the device and replug it and see witch one was added to the list.

Here you go :phttps://www.dropbox.com/sh/sm4b4vdxock6tof/AAAYBMNDiGYz9aEyI3Ciom_ba?dl=0

I added a photo in step 4 ;)

Those adds give my a little money for every click, that money will be invested in future projects! Nothing is free you know :p

Thx

Well if you know what your doing, it's actually quite easy!

But thanks, hope you find some time to do it as well

I added indeed some adds, wait 5 sec and press skip, you will find everything you need.These projects take time and money, hope you will understand. It won't cost you anything!!

absolutly, it will give a realy cool vintage look to your room, you can play 16by16 pixel animations on it ;)

Glad you ask, I see that I forgot to draw it.You need one 470 ohm resistor, I put it between pin D9 on the arduino and the first led input. Signal of the arduino is to powerfull and can damage those leds!

No problem bro!

Glad you like it. It took some time to make, but definitely worth it! :p
