InstallationJust download the zip file of the latest software version from the and extract it to a folder on your local hard drive. To be able to use Glediator's serial output you will have to install the RXTX library on your system. A simple google search for 'RXTX' followed by your system (e.g.

Scribd is the world's largest social reading and publishing site.

'Win 7 64bit') will guide you easily to the RXTX page were you will find corresponding files for download as well as a short installation manual. It's really not a big deal.just start Glediator by a double click on 'Glediator.jar' or by using the command 'java -jar Glediator.jar' from within a console.Data outputGlediator can shift data out via serial interface (COM ports as well as virtual COM ports) and via Ethernet (ArtNet, TPM2.Net).

The serial interface can be adjusted up to 1000000 baud allowing to push out frames as big as about 1000 pixels with a frame rate of 24 FPS. Via Ethernet much bigger matrices can be supplied with data.

Glediator has no restrictions to the matrix size. However, you will certainly come to the point were the power of your PC's CPU will not be sufficient to calculate huge matrices in the range of 200x200 Pixels.Stripes & Matrices made of WS2801-PixelsIf you want to control an LED stripe / matrix made of the legendary WS2801 pixels and you have an Arduino you can just download the Arduino sketch from and operate your matrix by Glediator!

The baud rate in the firmware is set to 500000 baud. If you configure Glediator output just choose this baud rate, select 'Glediator Protocol' as output type and select your particular pixel oder / board order (latter one only if you divided your matrix into sub matrices). Choose your Arduino's COM port and your are done. The firmware can handle up to 512 Pixels on an Arduino UNO / Leonardo / Micro / Mini.If you have a bigger matrix / stripe we also have a version of the.

If you use it you have to set baud rate within Glediator to 1000000 baud!! It also may be necessary to disable the 'auto reset' function of the mega (depends on your particular version). How to do this can be figured out with a simple google search! The Mega's version of the WS2801 firmware can handle up to approx. 1024 pixels.Note: In both version of the firmware you have to adjust the number of pixels in the header of the code before uploading it to the Arduino. You can also set the Arduino pins for DATA and CLK there.Stripes & Matrices made of WS2811 / WS2812-Pixels (Neo-Pixel) NEWSince LEDs with integrated PWM controller become more and more popular (and cheaper) many people were asking for steering these guys with Glediator.

And here we go: We made a sketch for all kind of Arduino boards (UNO, Leonardo, Mini, Micro, Mega, etc.) that receives serial data and feeds stripes / matrices of WS2811/WS2812 pixels. You can download the sketch.The firmware can handle up to 512 pixels. It uses a fixed baud rate of 1000000 baud. Set color order to BRG within Glediator. It's highly recommended to put a resistor (100-200Ohm) into the data line. It's also no bad choice to add a 220µF capacitor to the power line of the stripe / matrix.Note: You have to adjust the number of pixels in the header of the code before uploading it to the Arduino. You can also set the Arduino pin for DATA there.By the way: You can find a selection of certain Neo-pixel stripes / matrices / arrangements for moderate amount of money in the web shop.

Current VersionThe current Version of Glediator Software is V2.0.3. Latest changes are.

I love this project. A pair of questions:-One feature request. I would like to bulld a big led matrix (32x64 or 32x96.).

Then I'm thinking in using 16x16 led matrix with ws2812b leds, that currently are cheap, and arduino as the controller. Then I should need 2 or 3 controllers (each handling 1024 leds, 4 matrix x 16 x 16). I would like to ask possibility of having a multi controller setup (each controller will handle a part of the global image)-Source code: is the source code of the program available (open source)?, in order to be able to program new effects, or even the multicontroler setup I asked before?Thanks in advance. I have glediator running on my Raspberry Pi 3 B and it works beautifully sending data over TCP/IP to our external pixel array. The one issue I have is getting the audio processing to work without the video stuttering (it looks like a GC pause, maybe? It's about 1-2 times per second).

It nominated for seven different awards at DICE 2013 awards. On the other hand the game won “Best Action Game Award”.

I have the audio coming in via a USB Sabrent card over a SOX loopback interface.Running top, java is only using roughly 30-40% CPU and 10-20% RAM, even when I set the max RAM allocation to be 768M (of the RPI's 1GB). Xorg uses roughly 20% CPU and 4% RAM and sox uses 5% CPU and. I implemented the glediatorws281 2 ex. With a 5×8 matrix initially i was getting the sequence when I selected the Baud rate of B1000000 for the Glediator but after some time the sequence stop coming as it displaying anError Options: Wrong numberofboard s size.However I double check the matrix and the order is perfect I don’t what cause this error to occured.

Please note I am using Ubuntu having Java 1.7 installed @ my system and I am using WS2812 Pixel Strip, please suggest if you have any solution regarding this,Thanks,Dev. I am trying to run a display on an LED matrix wired zig-zag starting top left reading the data from an SD card on Arduino. I have tried as many Glediator settings as I can but all seem to assume parallel rows of LEDS and I get interlaced images from each side of the display.

Does anyone know if Glediator only works with rows of LEDs running in single direction (eg left to right) or is there a setting to get it to work with a zig-zag matrix. Should be using single-pixels or Board-of-pixel settings. Hi everyone,I've built a 50.9 ws2801 matrix with an arduino uno clocked at 12 MHz. Unfortunately, I think I've come across a baud rate problem. The matrix is updating really slowly compared to a previous WS2812 300 LED matrix I've built, here is a 3 sec video of the problem:would like to set the UART to 1MBit by setting UBRR0L = 1; in the arduino code, but it is not possible to go higher than 0.5 bit with a 12 MHz cpu clock speed.What do you think? Should I invest in an arduino mega? Or is the problem different?Thank you for your help.

Is it possible to have gladiator automatically select a serial port at startup time rather than always require someone configure it manually each time?Ideally, it would accept an argument to the command-line that would indicate the Serial port to use, and perhaps other arguments for things like baud rate and maybe a config file to use, then this could run headless as part of a startup script.Is the source code for gladiator available in GitHub or some site so that I can try to make changes like this?. Hi im having trouble with my 16x13 led setup.im usingraspberry pi 3arduino nano 328.WS2812B 5050 RGB LED Stripim having problems displaying grapichs using gladiator:I get graphics but they seem to be mirrored on my led array, not in gladiator.is there somthing simple i missed or can there be som other problem.also i should mention im getting a RXTX mismatch when i launch Glediator in raspberian. Jar version = RXTX-2.2-200812 07 and native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2.

Can this may be the problem and if so how would i fix it.the display works except for it mirroring the graphic.also thank you developer for having this program available for everyone.is there som sort of forum i could post this at if you cant help.kind regards Mads. I have a 10x15 grid which I am trying to patch to artnet. It starts grid top left and is horizontal line wise.I appreciate I need 3 channels per pixel so starting at 0,1,2 for the top left, 3,4,5 for the next one and so on, up to the 150th pixel. Problem is that when I do the patch selection and select 'done', I get an error message 'Your patching contains one or more errors and cannot be applied. Fix patching and try again!' I couldnt see any problem with it, any ideas why it triggers an error message?

Is there a limit to the number of channels?. Here's my startup script for running gladiator on raspberry pi.I noticed that the input device was called ttyACM0 rather than USB0 so I made a symlink at startup time so that gladiator could find the port.The gladiator distribution is in /home/pi/distI name the file 'startglediator ' (with execute permission). Then I run that from the command line (or make a symlink to it in Desktop and double-click it)#!/bin/bashexport CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/RXTXcomm.jarexport LDLIBRARYPATH=/usr/lib/jniif! -a /dev/ttyUSB0 ; thensudo ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/ttyUSB0ficd /home/pi/dist/glediatorjava -jar glediator.jar. Hey peeps wondering if someone could please help?I'm running a teensy 3.2 and an apa 102 led strip.

I'm trying to get glediator to work the strip with no luck only 1 led is lighting up and it won't let me define the matrix parameters which I believe would be 60X1?I know the computer is talking to the teensy ok with arduino software as I can change the blink rate of the led on the teensy board by altering the time delay.I have glediator running but it doesn't seem to be talking to the teensy.Any help appreciated thanks. Okay, so, I might be pretty simple, but I am also not really a software guy. And, I've never done anything directly with Java. When it comes to installing/unlo ading to the RXTX, it states in the article, 'It's really not a big deal.'

Then why am I having so much trouble with it?? I am running Win 10 (x64). Besides the RXTX, is there something else that I need to download (yes, I've DL'd the Glediator software)? Is the JDK a separate DL? While in the midst of typing this, I searched my comp (from the start menu) for Java and found only 2 items: Java run command & Configure Java. In the latter, I clicked view and manage Runtime versions and it says x86.

I DL'd: RXTX-2-2-200812 07 Windows-x64. I'm guessing that might be a problem.(clock ticking away) So, no JDK, right? So, I DL'd jdk-8u91-window s-x64.exe.Not hing. What am I doing wrong??. Thanks for this great softwarel!

Since I learnt about it I've been trying to control a strip of WS2812 (15 LEDs) with Glediator V2. I'm using an Arduino Uno and Mac OSX. I have successfully installed the rxtx files and Glediator finally recognizes the serial ports on my Mac.I have followed your instructions (changed the matrix size, set the output mode to Glediator Protocol, chose the right COM-Port, Baud rate to 230400).Once I click on serial connect the LEDs light up and freeze and wont animate with the monitor.when I press the reset button on my arduino some LEDs change color and freeze again. I have tried different LED strips but i still got the same results.I tried adafruit's neopixle libraries and the LEDs worked perfectly.Anyo ne has a solution for that?Thanks in advance. Hello, I was trying to run the software with 100 WS2801 LEDs and Arduino Uno. To begin with, Glediator did not see my connected Arduino and the solution to this problem was to install RXTX 32 bit version (not 64).Even after my board has been recognized, I couldn't light up the LEDs. I tried a few options and connections, however, the output was the same.

LEDs work as it is suppose to be - tested with Adafruit library.Back to the code:int SDI = 13;int CKI = 12;Even though I tested different options, does SDI stands for data pin, while CKI for clock?I would be grateful if you could point out any other options that I may have not tried. HelloFirst, It's amazing software. Thanks for sharing1. I have a question regarding strip layout.i am using arduino with SD card so i create a file using recording menu. The effect.does the 'output' section is where i tell the program my strip layabout?what is the difference between HSBL to HLBL?

(i have a zigzag pattern starts at the bottom left side)2. What is the 'space' parameter in matrix size? I have 2811 strips that have a cheap every 3 physical led (it's not fully addressable) if i have 12 strips of 69 led each do i have to writeSizeX=69 SizeY=12 Space=3 orSize=69/3 SizeY=12 space=1ThanksDaniel. Hi, First: Glediator 2.03 is a great software, however it suffers a bit by a lack of user guide. But at least I got it running. I started first with a 96 LED 5V 2801 strip and that worked driven by a Anduino Uno and the Ws2801. However in parallel I also acquired a 60 LED 2812 12 V Strip (mainly as I didn't read carefully enough before I ordered).

But at a senond thought 12V has the advantage of thinner cables anyway, and because of that cars are 12V and the old VW Beetle with 6V passed away.So I tried the 12V line with the Arduino as well, which didn't work (probably as the data signal must be also around 12V). So I used a simple BC574 NPN transistor and put a 10k resistor in collector and 1k in emitter and put the arduino output via 1k to the base, now having the signal on collector 12V for 1 ond 1V for 0. Et voila: the LED stripe flickers.

But not as expected: I is mainly on and the signal seems to be inverted. Is that a known issue? Is the glediator protocol documented?. High 2 all;)I sit here on step one from a room project.Teensy 3.2 + ws2811Octa + SD + cc3300 wifi+ 2Kw power sup. + 6.000px ws2812b.The first part, 'multi function table' is ON.

90x240cm double-layer.i can push sketches from win7 pc USB to the board, changing colors.// Looks like my win knows what it did.' A wonder'.BUT i am to stupid to blow the signal live from glediator!!:(((Later sure i like to save presets on SD, and switch by andoid smarty.And sure all of this must work as Tv- ambilight too;))please, can anybody post me a complete sketch for this setup?And some beginner tips?How can i check out, if my RXTX win setup is fine or not?THX for taking time and help!. Hello and thank you for this site.I managed to project RGB LED Matrix - Modular Segments and I could use the Modular Plasma Firmware file and the program I set up MainProgramPr ocessing matrix.But my problem is the lack of implementation of these programs by Glediator and the lack of a file to identify Shift register 74HC595 is by Glediator.WS2801 and WS2812 identify the files you've placed on your site but not on file for identification RGB Led simple.Please advise me how I can and I set RGB Led Matrix by Glediator identification.

Glediator was working fine, as was Jinx! Using the glediator protocol.

However, lately there is no com port showing on output for glediator though it still works fine for Jinx! Just had to buy a new Windows 10 laptop as old one failed so was hoping that this would be an opportunity to resolve the com port issue but the same issue has arisen - no com port showing on glediator but no problem for Jinx. Has anyone had the same problem? Have tried reinstalling rxtx files but to no avail. Any comments welcome as I miss glediator.

Hello!Hey I have been trying to use your software but i encountered a problem, i searched for the 'reset dissable'on my arduino mega, i bought a 120 ohm resistor and i plugged it on my 5V and RESET slots, i connected the led strip on 5v, GND, Data to pin7 and Clock to pin 6, uploaded the 'ws2801 mega'into my board (and yeah, changed the pins from 3-4 to 6-7) and installed glediator, all steps and when i open communication it doesnt light up anything!Im sorry to bother you but i cant seem to fix it and i was wondering if im doing something wrong. The arduino flashes with the RX led as i open communication with glediator, i dont know what else do you need to know. I can controll them with basic programs i code on arduino but i really really want to use your software. Hi,Trying both Glediator and GlediatorV2 on OS X 10.7.5, 64 bit, Java 1.6.I have managed to setup RXTX for Java 64 bit per Harder's blog and it's recognized per console logs and terminal output from Glediator.I do see the serial port for it as well (to which an Arduino board is connected). I cann communicate with Arduino board separately successfully to control a light strip.However, on the terminal when launch Glediator, in Output Options, after setting all the protocol parameters, and selecting my serial port the board is connected to, and choose 'Serial Open', I get this exception (both versions, partial trace due to comment limit):Exception in thread 'AWT-EventQueue -0' java.lang.NullPointerExceptionat Output.SerialOutput.startSerial(SerialOutput.java:109)at Output.Output.startSerial(Output.java:81)at.

The hardware consists of a WS2811 LED strip cut into lengths of 10 pixels and then mounted 8 of those strips on a board and then soldered new wires where the strips were cut.You can control the WS2811 LED strips with any Arduino board and a SD card adapter. Configure the code with the IO pins you connected the CLOCK and DATA pin, upload the sketch to the Arduino board and put the saved output data from Glediator to the SD card and that's about it.The sketch is hereare many examples on the web how to build a LCD panel with WS2811 if it is unclear.

Can't get more than 250,000 baud with Arduino Mega 2560 and Windows 8.1 64 bit.Great software! I've got it working at 250,000 baud with Windows 8.1 64 bit, RXTX-2.2pre1, and Arduino Mega 2560 using the supplied sketch (ABRR0L=7 for 250,000 baud).

I'm using a standard USB cable connecting to the USB jack of the Arduino. I'd like to get to 500,000 baud or 1,000,000 baud, but bytes seem to be getting lost somewhere. I'm not sure if the problem is on the Arduino side or the Windows side. I tried optimizing the Arduino interrupt handler code, but it didn't seem to help.

Matriz De Led 8x8 Pdf Cover

I'm wondering if Java/RXTX/Windo ws is sending correctly at the full speed, but not sure how to check.Can anyone who has gotten 500,000 baud or higher working from Windows 8.x 64 bit give some tips?. I'm so glad I stumbled on this software! What a big piece of work! Anyway I have a couple of questionsFirstly, is there any documentation for this?

I've played around with it but I have no idea what I'm doing!Secondly, I plan to create a DJ star cloth for my disco setup which is 3M x 1M and will consist of 90 x 20 LEDs - that is 1800 in total! I have the power supply necessary for this installation but I have seen nothing in your docs which can control more than about 1000 LEDs. I am using WS2812B strips. Can you suggest a solution to this? I have tested a few of them with an Arduino UNO but this appears to run out of RAM after about 350 LEDs and higher. Is there any documentation on Artnet Patcher configuration?

I am trying to drive 48x16 matrix via a Sandevice E682. The first pixel in the matrix is lower left and each row is a single strand and goes left to right.In the Patcher I'm not sure what Net, Subnet, Universe and Max Channel values should be.Here is a line to the screenshot of my sandevice configuration:can get some of the pixels to light, I'm just not sure how to configure the large matrix.Thanks. Issue: When using TPM2.Net you are using the same source and destination UDP port, so it's impossible to send TPM2 data to the same computer that runs Glediator.

You should set the source port to a dynamic port (0) so it's not preventing an app to listen for TPM2.Net. Glediator should only send TPM2.Net data to 65506, it doesn't have to receive, right? Or have the port number for source/destinat ion configurable.Suggestion 1: Extend the GRC protocol (and document it) with master level and play list operations.Suggestion 2: Release this app as open source, with all these comments it would be great to see some community involvement in the code base. Hey kleiner Tipp an den Autor vor mir: versuch mal unter dem Punkt installationen die RXTX.dll zu installieren bzw. Der Anleitung zu folgen.Now my problem:Im using the WS2812 sketch to drive my leds and Im interested in doing the communication over wireless (build portable matrix).

Im using only a cobble of leds and I wanted to know if there is a way to reduce the UART speed to 250000 or 115200 baud per second. Glediator supports these but I cant find a way to configure the WS2812 sketch to handle withe lower transmission ratesthanksLeon. I am one of the authors of the xlights software. We added the ability to play effects generated by gladiator.Our team also developed free software to run on a raspberry pi.

This software can drive 64k channels of lights. This falcon pi player can drive e1.31, USB Dmx, opendmx, Reynard, Pixelnet and d-lights controllers.The pi player can have 64 raspberry pi players connect ex together. Each does 64k channels so u can drive 4 million channels fully synced. Open source software is on github under falcon pi player.Each raspberry pi has 1080p hdmi,composite video available. You can therefore have 64 video streams besides the lights.Our software for xlights is also open sourced and on github.Gladiator effects look very cool and our christmas,Hallo ween users love it.

Here is a web page showing the rgb controllers we connect to our falcon pi players. Denver, colorado. Hi - I have a question, please.I need to know (if possible) the exact maximum amount of Pixels that an Arduino Uno (2K RAM) can handle.This page says 512, and another says 'about 600'. I realise that each pixels need 3 bytes, so for a 2K RAM, that would (theoretically) give a maximum of 2000/3=666 pixels if all the RAM is used for the matrix.Is this possible? I am very new to the Arduino - Is part of the RAM used for other things? Is the hardware some-how limited to 512 or 600?Thank you for any assistance you can provide.Chris.

To begin, I had serious trouble getting the LED's to update properly.I'm running the Arduino Sketch on an iBoard from iteadstudios. It's a ATmega328 based chipset with built in ethernet and a wifi port.The only way I was able to fix it was to set UBRR0L = 1 in the Arduino Sketch, and 1000000 baud in Glediator. Maybe that will help someone as it took me all day to narrow the problem down.However, I cannot seem to get the audio source working.

What sources are available? Does it only see Line In or can it see audio played on the computer running Glediator? I haven't been able to find any documentation about audio sources. Ich hab was gebastelt.hab dafuer Glediator 2.0.2 verwendet und wollte mich noch einmal fuer die tolle Software bedanken.Falls hier noch jemand Animationen im Glediator Format dumpen will gibts im metalab wiki die passende doku dazu.Die gedumpten Animationen laufen bei diesem Projekt dann von einer microSD-Karte und werden ueber OctoWS2811 auf einem Teensy 3.1 gerendert.Die komplette Software (sowohl der MCU-teil als auch die Android App zum steuern) gibts frei auf github.:.-flo.

Having problems finding the serial port from gLEDiator. I've got an Arduino Uno wi the firmware flashed on it, connected to 50 WS2812 LEDs.I'm using Ubuntu 12.04Every time I start gLEDiator I get this warning:WARNING: RXTX Version mismatchJar version = RXTX-2.2-200812 07 Cloudhopper Build rxtx.cloudhopper.netnative lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2Number of COM ports found: 0Which I suspect is.why. I can't see the com port in the OUTPUT panel.I've tried switching to the 64 Bit version of RXTXcomm.jar and that doesn't change anything:(Any ideas?CheersAndrew. Hi,Thank you for this software. However, i'm having issue with the latest version V2.0.1. Mainly, with the TPM2 output protocol.Basically, what's happening is that the software is treating all the pixels (total of 231 pixel) as one pixel.

Hence, i can't control each pixel individually. All pixels light up the same. The funny thing is that V1.1 works as expected. I do not understand what could be wrong with my settings in the newer version. I simply set the matrix size to 231x1, then selected TPM2 protocol and opened the correct COM socket. Old version works fine, but newer V2.0.1 doesn't seem to be able to output correctly. One thing for certain, all 231 pixels are lighting up, but not individually as shown in the visual screen.The hardware is PIC MCU based.

Thus, i had to write my own firmware. Can anyone point out a solution? Or am i doing something wrong here? Do note that V1.1 is working well.

Just not with V2.0.1. Hi all,It's been a long time I came here. Like lots of people, I started to control my led matrix using Glediator and was very happy with it.But we really needed beat sync and midi control support for our live shows.

So we decided to create our own software. It's called Minotor, it's open source and after 9 mounth of hard work it's almost ready to live.I just wanted to share it with you as it's a different approach than Glediator.No binaries for the moment but it's very easy to compile.I hope you'll enjoy it, and if you wanna see it in action:. I'm trying to use the glediator software with an Arduino Mega avr 2560 rev3.after lot of research to know why it doesn't works even after the UART0 ISR i've finally found the problem.on the last arduino 2560 rev 3 the reset line is controlled by the USB/serial bridge to automatically restart the board when the upload is done.and it's the origin of the problem!

When you check 'open port' under glediator the reset line is asserted and the board restart when the data arrived at the RX0 line.the solution is to remove the 'rest' copper bridge between the two pads on the arduino board and solder a jumper.the other workaround is to modify glediator to let 1 or 2 seconds before to start sendind the data or disable the hardware flow control (the reset line of the arduino is controlled by DTR)greetings from France. Wow, an amazing piece of software you have made here!Version 1.0.6 comes with a configuration file where I can specify the output artnet host ip i.e.

'artnet.ipnode 0' ect. How can I do the same in version 1.1?Another question. What software would you recommend for an artnet receiver when I run my LED from a raspbarry pi running Occidentalis v0.2. I have tried PixelPi (This is almost working but my snake layout are displaced by 6 pixel garbage. My matrix is 20x14.

Hi AllI'm a lighting designer entering into the world of RGB LED's.I have been given a project to construct a feature consisting of a 16x32 matrix covering 4m x 2m (approx) and so I will need to run 3W RGB LED modules. Has anyone attempted anything on this scale and know of any pitfalls I might come across, i.e. Power, drivers etc. Obviously an arduino Mega will have to be used and it will need to be completely self contained.Now, I know this amounts to over 1.5kW requiring quite a few amps, but that isn't a problem, I just need a few resources to work with.Any advice is always very welcome.Kind regardsTim.

Hi Matt,how did you 'install' the RXTX?You just have to copy the 'RXTXSerial.dll ' into the Glediator folder (same as were glediator.jar is). Do not copy any RXTX.jar file into your local JAVA (sub) folder.Make sure you have the correct version of RXTX! There are different ones for 32 and 64 bit systems.Start glediator from the console by 'java -jar glediator.jar' - Then click on 'Preferences' in the main window and have a look to the console - It will tell you wether RXTX is properly installed and/or how many com ports are found.Cheers!. I'm getting really confused with RXTX. If I place RXTX in my Java/Extensions folder, it break Arduino IDE because Arduino IDE has it's own RXTX. How can you make them play nicely with each other? I assumed that Glediator would load the libraries located in./lib as to prevent conflict, but that doesn't appear to be the case as console replies with 'It seems like you don't have any RXTX binary in your Glediator folder nor elsewhere!'

So I placed it in the same directory as Glediator.jar and the same thing happened. What's up?. Hello!I'm looking into starting a project that would consist of a 32. 16 (512 leds) matrix or maybe a bit larger and used for a DJ Fasade made of white plexiglass. I'm new to the LED scene but not to circuitry. I've built circuit boards for midi before so I'm thinking I should be able to get by with not too many issues. I was looking into Arduino Mega and using ws2801 led strips.

I'm just not too sure on what power supply I should use. I was thinking a 5v/30 amp maybe? Would I need anything else to get started?Thanks so much! Your software is amazing. Hey Cali,512 WS2801-Pixel will need 512.0.02.3 = 30.72 A (assuming that each pixel has just one LED).Beside the chips themselves need a bit of current too. So 30 Amps would be a bit to less.

I even would go a step beyond and make the PSU 40-50 APMs so you can be sure you get no voltage drop even when displaying hardcore stobo on matrix.Please be aware that you have to feed the voltage multiply to your strand of pixels. For 32x16 I would suggest to feed in each line.Best wishes for your project and send us some pics / clips when finished.Cheers!. I removed the auto-reset but still can't get things working:(When uploading i have to press the reset button while the sketch so this means the auto-reset is correct right?I changed the code from 16 leds to 50 which is the amount i have.I have tried used pins 5&6 on my MEGA also tried 3&4 because i was kinda confused which ones should be used when looking at the code.After the code is upload i open Glediator goto 'prefs' then i set my Matrix Dimensions to 10x5x1 Mapping & Protocol set to Glediator Protocol, Single Pixels, RGB.

Ports and Sockets set to tty.usbmodem621 baud-rate 230400 (anything higher wont work) Then i click 'Open Serial'Under that is says '/dev/tty.usbmo dem621 cl.' I notice on my MEGA that the TX & RX lights blink as if they are working with Gladiator.I once again uploaded a 2801 led program and it worked fine so im beyond confused.Thanks for ANY & ALL Help. Hi,I just received today my led string: wired everything and tested with the exemple arduino code proposed by adafruit. Everything works perfectly so wiring seems to be ok.But when I try to use Glediator with the provided arduino firmware it doesn't work. Hi Peter,Glediator supports Artnet.

That's basically UDP and you can easily write some code for Xmega to receive UDP packets and send content out via SPI to WS2801 Pixel.However, I guess for 5000+ pixel this will not work, since you have to buffer the pixels within the AVR. I don' know what particular kind of Xmega you are using but you will need at least 5000.3 = 15kB of RAM! OK, with the bigger models this may fit. Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend to go for a more distributed way.The Artnet protocol is capable to spread partial data to different IP addresses. This is the usual way big matrices are fed.Maybe you also find some inspiration from our Universal Interface Boards. Those are exactly made for this purpose!. Hi Andrew!Glediator supports UDP output via Artnet and in a next version via TPM2.

Any other kind of UDP transmission is basically just a few lines of code.So if ever a Glediator-User will demand for that special kind of UDP format that is expected from the raspberry it will be implemented for sure.However, in my opinion it would make more sense to write a small script for the raspberry that makes it capable for receiving Artnet. Artnet is a standard and thus things become more universal.But all of this should be discussed when the raspberry is available for a brought audience!Cheers!. I recently made a 32 by 16 ping-pong matrix as a continuation of my colorduino ping-pong matrix. Whilst replying to comments on the youtube video, I noticed your modular led wall in the suggested vids. I then proceeded to port your code to my wall as I loved your graphics. I am now working on a new driver system, and was wondering a few things.1, would you mind if i designed my new system around glediator2, have you considered open-sourcing it3, could you please help me with the addressing of the pixels and panels, relating to your controller boards (mine will be similar, ie multiplexed and PWMed on the controller)Thanks,And may I one again reitorate how helpful your work has been, and how awesome you are. Thanks, Georgedashroom66.org/2012/07/the-much-larger-board-of-many-ping-pong-balls/.

What do you mean with ' a new driver system' Do you want to make new driver boards (PCBs) or do you want to make a PC software similar to Glediator? Just give me a few more words!2. Do you have a particular question on the mapping?

What I can read so far is a general question, but there is no general answer! And again: What means 'relating to your controller boards'? We have different kinds of controller boards!Just one more point: I saw that you are selling boards derived from ours on your page and I saw also you are pointing to our site. However, I would have appreciated if you could get in contact with us before. But that's your decission.But there is one more thing: Please have a close look to your website(s) and related sub-sites onto the link(s) to our page. 1st it is just text without a hyper ref and 2nd you have certain typos in there!

We are solderlab and NOT 'solderlabsCheers!. I mean a PCB, a follow on from the current version.2. The reason for open sourcing it, is that although I do have my not-finished software (MMMF proved it), your is far better. The boards I'm selling are modified to be able to run your software without modification (only changes on a controller shield). If I could release my software with modifications then I could release my boards that are not modified to work to your software spec.3.

I'm assuming that the data is spat out as if it were a long chain, but you could have done it so that it was broken in chunks, with the reversed order of panels/pixels. This is hard to explain, but could you give an order in which the colour data is pixels are spat out.CONTINUED. I apologise for the wrong names and broken h-refs, I will change them. I tried to contact you, but the e-mail did not get a receipt (assuming my email is broken) and your contact for appears broken to me. Drupal is reporting that the boards are not published (thus not for sale), this is a bug I will look into.The boards are NOT derived from yours, they are derived from the second version of my own, but modified to be compatible with your code. I changed the names as it would hopefully make life easier for the end user. I am selling the boards at a loss as a public service, a my manufacturing is expensive, due to EXTREMELY low volumes of sales.

Hopefully people would also buy the kits, or other components, which I make a small margin on, to even it out, and possibly help fund future projects.I would also like to remind you, that all 595 circuits are extremely similar.Regards,George.
