Microcontroller

Currently we only support ESP8266 devices to controll the led matrix.

Connect matrix to microcontroller

Your LED-Matrix should have 3 wires: red, black (or white) and green. Additionally it should have 2 more wires: red and black, that are seperate.

1. Take the 3 wire bundle and connect the

   1. red wire to voltage in ('VIN')
   2. black wire to ground('GND')
   3. the green wire to any data pin (e.g. D4)

2. connect the red and black wire to a diffrent 5V DC power source.

Install software

That does not say, you cant use anyother micro controller to controll the led matrix.

The microcontroller code is in the repository USM.

1. Navigate to src/Controller/MicroController/Matrix/Rgb

2. Select you microcontroller (Currently only ESP8266 is supported)

3. Download the file and change the values

   1. SSID = Your WiFi name
   2. PSK = Your WiFi password
   3. LED_PIN = The pin you connected the led matrix with, on your ESP8266

4. Open the .ino file and install it via the Arduino IDE on your Microcontroller
