NeoPixel NeoMatrix 8X8 Panel Fun

Post by chemdoc77 »

How can you have fun with the NeoPixel NeoMatrix 8X8 Panel and a Trinket? You cannot use the NeoMatrix and GFX libraries since you do not have enough memory on the Trinket for these libraries. So what can you do? Use arrays and use an array of arrays along with new functions for those arrays!

Here is a video of a sketch run on a Trinket with the NeoPixel NeoMatrix 8X8 panel:

Here is the code for that sketch on GitHub at:

After creating more arrays and more functions for the arrays, I had to use an Arduino Nano or Uno to run a second, more complex sketch since it would not run on the Trinket (probably not enough room in SRAM for the arrays and other stuff).

Here is a video of the second sketch run on an Arduino Nano with the NeoPixel NeoMatrix 8X8 panel:

Here is the code for that sketch on GitHub at:

Once I master putting arrays into flash memory and recalling them from flash memory to be used in an array of arrays then, I hope to get the second sketch working on a Trinket.
