ESP32 HUB75 DMA Hue Value Spectrum demo

The Hue Value Spectrum demo is beautiful, cameras do not do it justice.
This is found at https://github.com/mrcodetastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-DMA


This software connects to just the input port of the LED array.


The issue with this software is that it it too fast.  The speed results in noise from the 3 volt logic driving the 5 volt panel.  You have to play with the ground wires and keep the ribbon cable as short as possible to prevent noise and even then there are faint blinking LED's from th noise issue.

Another issue is the software does not support "Strange" LED panels like most 8S outdoor panels.






Aurora Demo on ESP32 with a 16S 32x32 LED panel

This is the Aurora Demo working on 32x32 RGB LED matrix panel with an ESP32 Processor.  I bought a circuit bard to do this but could not get it to work, so I went with jumper wires and it worked almost perfectly from the start!

This wiring arrangement uses two sets of jumper wires going to both the input and output of the LED panel.  This makes it almost impossible to transfer it to another panel to test different ones to see if they are supported inthe software.


The wiring looks like this:


This wiring makes it difficult to add more panels or to try using another panel.
