Mark Read Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 23, 2016 #1 Could someone give me a start help on how to address two chips in series connected to a RPi. I am starting a new project: 3 x 3 x 3 LED Cube. My plan: 3 GPIO for SER, SCK and RCK + 3 GPIO to drive the layers via transistors. If I can get this to work, I would like to make a larger cube. Many thanks.

derez Expert Licensed User Longtime User Dec 24, 2016 #3 This is with B4R but it is should be easy to modify to RPi and B4J https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...gister-for-multiple-output.71531/#post-454790 I have also made a small tool in b4j to select pixels and colors and to create the byte arrays, then all is left to do is paste it to the b4r app. Attachments prepare_design.zip 3.3 KB · Views: 355 Last edited: Dec 24, 2016 Upvote 0
