Experiment No.6

  • L6.1 Name

  • ARM Cortex M4 - matrix display control 8x8 MAX 7219



  • L6.2 General presentation, purpose

  • The laboratory work aims to create a display system based on 8x8 matrix cells provided with MAX 7219 type controller . The possibilities of using DAVE components for the SPI interface are explored as well as the ways of making graphical and alphanumeric representations. At the end of the laboratory, useful information will be available on how to make display systems with matrix blocks interconnected to Infineon XMC 4500 systems.
