Crossing page boundary-Ensure page bits are set

[Ian Rogers]

I will make a suggestion.... We have an area in the middle that displays digits 0~9 and the hours are on the left and bottom... And the right shows hours in the bottom two LED's

Is this what you need.. If I'm correct then you can store the centre 6x7 digits 0~9 as bitmaps ( only 10 needed.)
Then if you change your code to draw columns instead of rows you can blit the Hours and 10's mins afterwards..

That will leave just the hours 9~12 which can be inserted last...

Thank you, Sparky and Ian. That helps put things into perspective...

 

[Nigel Goodwin]

Again, you only need 11 characters, one for each digit (including ':') that you are using.

Good morning Ivan. Good pictures. You know the old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words well, it sure holds true in this case. That is what I am trying to accomplish maybe with one exception. I was only using the center 6x6 leds for the digital display. I understand what you are saying but do to my inexperience I do not know how to go about it. Since electronics is just a hobby for me that I started in my later retirement years I have just learned enough to get myself in trouble. Anyway I will take a try at it. Maybe an example or two would get me going in the right direction if not too inconvenient for you. Thanks again for your concerns and input.

Ivan!!!! Who's he...

Here's the bitmaps

And here's my idea..... I have implemented minutes and tens of minutes and hours up to 8:59 but I need to work out the last 4 shifts..... I have sped things up by using the interrupt routine to count minutes...BUT!! the time needs calculating to get the right timing.... I just needed it to get there faster..

Have a play with it... Oh yeah sorry the LED is rotated 90 degrees to use columns instead of rows, but you'll get the idea..

One last detail... I have a bug that I'm trying to find... When 10 minutes is reached the 1 hour flashes.... the at 20 minutes another totally unconnected led flashes....

My apologies about the name. I must have had one of those senior moments which seem to happen now and again. Thanks for the information you gave me. I am sure I will have fun with it. Will keep in touch. Take care .
