Arduino Pi: an Arduino computer for developers.

Hello all,

I got the LoL matrix board to help me organize the LEDs and simplify code. I will have to update many parts of this project, although most of it would probably work fine if someone can make a 5x5 matrix as I had described.

Hello all,

I will submit my project for the Hackaday 2015 Prize as well. However, I will need more components since my LED matrix doesn't work. Therefore, I need an 8x8 matrix and edit the code so it is compatible with the 8x8 LED matrix.

Hello all,

I just added some pics of the hardware and also of the schematic. You can see them in the details section.

I am done with all the Hackaday Prize requirements! Please help me by sharing my project with others on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. 

Thanks,

Hello all!

The video is up! Now the project is ready for the Hackaday Prize! You can see it in the Links section or in the Details.

Thanks,

Hello all!

Finally, I'm almost done! The LED Matrix is done and I already finished the button and Arduino circuits on the breadboard. I just have to connect the two up and program it. The LED Matrix was complicated and the connections aren't perfect (using paper, pencil, and tape!). I would be surprised if the LED matrix works perfectly on its first try!

I plan to post a video as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I got the parts but I have been busy so I couldn't work on the project... I will post a video soon...

Parts will come tomorrow... I am exicted!! I will also work on an operating system soon by using the library that I designed.

Hi all,

For some time, I have been thinking of creating a bigger display. After all, a 5x5 LED matrix is too small. So I have decided to start working on a 20x10 LED display. The code will be similar, but a few additions will be needed. I will post schematic (although it will be very similar) and code.

I have also just finished a library for the Arduino Pi. It is in the github repository under ArduinoPi folder. This can be used to control the ArduinoPi better. Also, I want to design and create an operating system so this library will simplify the creation of such an operating system.

Hi all,

The code has been debugged & fixed and it is in the github repository. My new code may seem a lot different from the original version but that's due to the difficulty with using the http://blog.duklabs.com/ code. Therefore, I used the code from the "5x5 LED matrix (gets text from pc)" instructables code. However, I will keep the link for people who wants to use LED matrices in different ways.

Now moving on to next stages, part ordering and hardware verification!

Hi all,

I have to admit, although I like programming and I think that I'm good at it, I am not that great and so I am having problems fixing and debugging the code. One major error is due to the fact that gkos uses char* type and bitlash uses char type. So I always get an invalid conversion error.  So, it might take some time to finish code verification.

If anyone wants to help, post your solutions in the comments for this project. It will be greatly appreciated. I will also acknowledge those who helped in my project.

P.S. I am going to order the components and parts soon. I am also thinking about creating a 16x8 LED matrix version. Hopefully, after I finsih code verification, I can write code for such a version soon.
