Dotstar Matrix Issues

Post by nverdo »

Hello,
I recently purchased a DotStar matrix and have begun running some test code. I started noticing issues with my code after I ran the matrixTest example included in the dotstar master library. After watching a video of the same code running on someone elses matrix, it was clear that my code was not properly functioning. I have an 8x8 board and the letters in the word "Howdy" would scroll by yet would change shape every time the scroll loop refreshed. For example, the letter 'H' seems almost wavey and never has straight lines. Does anyone know if this is a code issue or a board size issue or any other problem? If the attached image is shown, that is a version of the letter 'H' that is printed.
