64x8 Matrix

[Boshimanu]

Hi, is it possible to create a 64×8 matrix? It’s essentially double the size of the original version. On the Q-ROM, there was a 64×8 version.
It was called the wide version: marquee.ino.d1_mini_wide_3.03.bin

Thank you.

I solved it by searching by logic inside the project, and I came up with this:

In DynamicParams.h -> line 25

    #define MAX_DISPLAY_NAME_LEN      16 // *From 8 to 16*

In Settings.h -> line 64

    int displayWidth = 8; // number of display tiles; default 4 for standard 4 x 1 display module; Max size of 32 tiles. // *From 4 to 8*

In LEDmatrixClock.cpp -> line 441-442

 Uncomment the line to perform a reset. After completing the reset, comment out the line again and upload the firmware.

And it works as intended. 👌

Thank you again for the great work. 👍🙏

Yes that is possible, without any code change. Also no different Binary needed like with Qrome.

In the Configure page, change the Display Width (in 8x8 pixel tiles) to 8 and you are done.
