(Solved)Again problem with matrix, this time 8x32

Thanks doggy, all leds are lit now with this current code:
C: 
#include "FontMap.h"

int dataPin = 2; // ic: 14, ser_in Define which pins will be used for the Shift Register control
int latchPin = 3; // ic:12 silkscreen numbers!
int clockPin = 4;


unsigned char displayPointer=0; // for interrupt use...
unsigned char buffer1[32]; // buffer for screen
unsigned char backbuffer[32]; // Spare screen for drawing on
unsigned char power[8]={128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1};

ISR(TIMER1_COMPA_vect) // timer compare interrupt service routine
{
if(TIFR0) // Make sure its the timer interrupt.
{
setcolumn(displayPointer);
setdata(buffer1[displayPointer]);
digitalWrite(latchPin ,HIGH);digitalWrite(latchPin , LOW ); // STORECLOCK
if(++displayPointer==32) { displayPointer = 0; } // 32 LED row sections in total
}
TIFR0 = 0; // Clear timer 2 interrupt flag


}

void setcolumn(unsigned char col){
signed char pos;
for (pos = 32;pos>-1;pos--){
if (col == pos){digitalWrite(dataPin ,HIGH);}else {digitalWrite(dataPin ,LOW);} // PIN1 DATA pin
digitalWrite(clockPin ,HIGH);digitalWrite(clockPin ,LOW);
}}

void setdata(unsigned char dat){
unsigned char pos;
for (pos = 0;pos<8;pos++){
if (dat & 128){dat-=128;digitalWrite(dataPin ,HIGH);}else { digitalWrite(dataPin ,LOW);} // PIN1 DATA pin
dat = dat * 2;
digitalWrite(clockPin ,HIGH);digitalWrite(clockPin ,LOW);
}}
void clr() //clear
{
int addr;
for(addr=0;addr<32;addr++) // Empty display buffer
backbuffer[addr]= 0;
}

void Blit() //transfers data between display buffer to screen buffer

}

signed char x1, y1;
unsigned char disp;
unsigned char disp2;

{
disp2 = disp & power[y1];
if(disp2 > 0)
{
pixel(x+x1,y+y1,0); // OR the pixel to the display buffer
}
}

}
}

void strput(const char* ch, signed char x,signed char y)
{
int addr;
while (*ch )
{
charput(*ch++,x,y); // write a string to the display buffer
x+=7;
}
}

void setup() //setup runs once
{

// Set the Timer Mode to CTC

// Set the value that you want to count to

// start the timer

// set prescaler to 64 and start the timer

Yes, every single led is lit, not even flicker seen, tested with that new loop() you gave.
 
oh, copied wrong code, also change this line:
ISR (TIMER0_COMPA_vect)



void setup() //setup runs once
{
noInterrupts(); // disable all interrupts during setup
DDRD = DDRD | B11111100; //port registers used to set pin directions


// Set the Timer Mode to CTC
TCCR0A |= (1 << WGM01);

// Set the value that you want to count to
OCR0A = 0xF9;

TIMSK0 |= (1 << OCIE0A); //Set the ISR COMPA vect

sei(); //enable interrupts


TCCR0B |= (1 << CS02);
// set prescaler to 256 and start the timer



TIFR0 &= ~(1 << TOV0);
// reset the overflow flag
interrupts(); // enable all interrupts
} // End main
 
hmm, still same result, all leds lit:

Sorry, still all lit up :/
 
lets take step back.. two paragraphs to change this time:


ISR (TIMER1_COMPA_vect){
if(TIFR1) // Make sure its the timer interrupt.
{
setcolumn(displayPointer);
setdata(buffer1[displayPointer]);
digitalWrite(latchPin ,HIGH);digitalWrite(latchPin , LOW ); // STORECLOCK
if(++displayPointer==32) { displayPointer = 0; } // 32 LED row sections in total
}
TIFR1 = 0; // Clear timer 2 interrupt flag
}


void setup() //setup runs once
{
noInterrupts(); // disable all interrupts during setup
DDRD = DDRD | B11111100; //port registers used to set pin directions
TCCR1A = 0;
TCCR1B = 0;
TCNT1 = 0;
OCR1A = 31250; // compare match register 16MHz/256/2Hz
TCCR1B |= (1 << WGM12); // CTC mode, free-running, clear on match
TCCR1B |= (1 << CS12); // 256 prescaler
TIMSK1 |= (1 << OCIE1A); // enable timer compare interrupt
interrupts(); // enable all interrupts
} // End main
 
With that there is more living on matrix, quite random sequence, I'll post a shot in a few.

strange, didn't effect anything, even thought that should effect speed quite much?
 
oops, nvm!there came something now to screen, made typo in code, will post a pic in a few!

cant see the 1,
lets change: charput( 1,11,0);
to: charput( 1,7,0);

plus this:

Here we go:
IMG_1227.jpg
 
this map should work! lookin good now!
btw , are we still doing a rolling clock with this circuit?
.....for that all we need to do is rewrite the main a bit!
