LED Matrix Scrolling text with Arduino using a 74HC595

By snorlaxprime

The extension to the previous letter guessing game, I found a font library from a post in Instructables, and this leading me to create a scrolling text message to the single LED Matrix. This can be combined to make bigger display.

Nostalgic memory remembering what one of my Uni friend’s project back 20 years ago using shift registers and pascal programming, we had come a long way to simplify the circuitry and reduce the complexity of both hardware and software.

Please contact me if you would like the source code or the copy of the fonts library.
