Here is my commented code for an example of using an Arduino Nano with a HT1632C 8x32 panel.
// Libraries needed for the demo
#include <HT1632.h>
#include <font_5x4.h>
// Set the variables
// integers
int i = 0;
int wd;
// a string of characters to display
char disp [] = "Welcome to TVLand!";
void setup () {
// Which pins is the display using.
// The pin order is (CS1, pinWR, pinDATA)
HT1632.begin(9, 10, 11);
// Setting up the font
wd = HT1632.getTextWidth(disp, FONT_5X4_END, FONT_5X4_HEIGHT);
}
void loop () {
// Original code - drawTarget not a keyword
// HT1632.drawTarget(BUFFER_BOARD(1));
// Below, renderTarget, reflects the updated library - v2.0,
// which screen to send the data to. There can be up to 4 panels.
HT1632.renderTarget(1);
// Clear the RAM buffer for the display
HT1632.clear();
// OUT_SIZE, FONT_5X4, FONT_5X4_END, FONT_5X4_HEIGHT
// All of the above variables come from the font.h file
// OUT_SIZE is the width of the display
HT1632.drawText(disp, OUT_SIZE - i, 2, FONT_5X4, FONT_5X4_END, FONT_5X4_HEIGHT);
// Display the contents of RAM to the screen
HT1632.render();
// Scrolling the text from right to left
i = (i+1)%(wd + OUT_SIZE);
// a quick pause before cycling through
delay(100);
}
