## Introduction ## Introduction
This ESP32 Arduino/IDF library for HUB75 / HUB75E connector type 64x32 RGB LED 1/16 Scan OR 64x64 RGB LED 1/32 Scan LED Matrix Panel, utilities the DMA functionality provided by the ESP32's 'LCD Mode'. * This is an ESP32 Arduino/IDF library for HUB75 / HUB75E RGB LED panels.
* This library 'out of the box' (mostly) supports HUB75 panels where TWO rows/lines are updated in parallel... referred to as 'two scan' panels within this library's documentation.
* 'Four scan' panels are also supported - but please refer to the Four Scan Panel example.
* The library uses the DMA functionality provided by the ESP32's 'LCD Mode' for faster output.
### Features ### Features
- **Low CPU overhead** - once initialized pixel data is pumped to the matrix inputs via DMA engine directly from memory - **Low CPU overhead** - Pixel data is sent directly with the use of hardware-backed DMA, no CPU involvement
- **Fast** - updating pixel data involves only bit-wise logic over DMA buffer memory, no pins manipulation or blocking IO - **Fast** - Updating pixel data involves only bit-wise logic over DMA buffer memory, no pins manipulation or blocking IO
- **Full screen BCM** - library utilizes [binary-code modulation](http://www.batsocks.co.uk/readme/art_bcm_5.htm) to render pixel color depth / brightness over the entire matrix - **Full screen BCM** - Library utilizes [binary-code modulation](http://www.batsocks.co.uk/readme/art_bcm_5.htm) to render pixel color depth / brightness over the entire matrix to give reasonable colour depth
- **Variable color depth** - up to TrueColor 24 bits output is possible depending on matrix size/refresh rate required - **Variable color depth** - Up to TrueColor 24 bits output is possible depending on matrix size/refresh rate required

If you wanna ask "*...OK, OK, than what's the price for those features?*" I'll tell you - "[memory](/doc/memcalc.md), you pay it all by precious MCU's internal memory (SRAM) for the DMA buffer". ## ESP32 variants supported
* Original ESP32 - That being the ESP-WROOM-32 module with ESP32D0WDQ6 chip from ~2017.
Please use the ['Memory Calculator'](/doc/memcalc.md) to see what is actually achievable with a typical ESP32.
![Memory Calculator](doc/memcalc.jpg)
Note: Things are better for more recent ESP32 variants, refer [below](#memory-constraints) on how to use external SPIRAM/PSRAM for the DMA buffer which drives the HUB75 panels.
## ESP32 Supported
This library supports the:
* Original ESP32 - That being the ESP-WROOM-32 module with ESP32D0WDQ6 chip from 2017. This MCU has 520kB of SRAM which is much more than all the recent 'reboots' of the ESP32 such as the S2, S3 etc.
* ESP32-S2; and * ESP32-S2; and
* ESP32-S3 * ESP32-S3
RISC-V ESP32's (like the C3) are not, and will never be supported as they do not have parallel DMA output required for this library. RISC-V ESP32's (like the C3) are not supported as they do not have the hardware 'LCD mode' required for this library.
## Panels Supported ## Memory is required!
* 64x32 (width x height) pixel 1/16 Scan LED Matrix 'Indoor' Panel, such as this [typical RGB panel available for purchase](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/256-128mm-64-32-pixels-1-16-Scan-Indoor-3in1-SMD2121-RGB-full-color-P4-led/32810362851.html). "*What's the price for those features?*" - It's [memory](/doc/memcalc.md), you pay it all by precious MCU's internal memory (SRAM) for the DMA buffer".
* 64x64 pixel 1/32 Scan LED Matrix 'Indoor' Panel.
* 32x16 pixel 1/4 Scan LED Matrix 'Indoor' Panel using an ingenious workaround as demonstrated in the 32x16_1_4_ScanPanel example. A typical 64x32px panel at 24bpp colour uses about 20kB of internal memory.
* 126x64 [SM5266P](https://github.com/mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-I2S-DMA/issues/164) 1/32 Scan Panel
Please use the ['Memory Calculator'](/doc/memcalc.md) to see what is *typically* achievable with the typical ESP32. ![Memory Calculator](doc/memcalc.jpg)
For the ESP32-S3 only, you can use SPIRAM/PSRAM to drive the HUB75 DMA buffer when using **Octal SPI-RAM** (i.e. ESP32 S3 N8R8 variant). However, due to bandwidth limitations, the maximum output frequency is limited to approx. 13Mhz, which will limit the real-world number of panels that can be chained without flicker.
To enable PSRAM support on the ESP32-S3, refer to [the build options](/doc/BuildOptions.md) to enable.
For all other ESP32 variants (like the most popular original ESP32), [only *internal* SRAM can be used](https://github.com/mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-I2S-DMA/issues/55), so you will be limited to the ~200KB or so of 'free' SRAM (because of the memory used for your sketch amongst other things) regardless of how many megabytes of SPIRAM/PSRAM you may have connected.
## Suported panels
### Parallel scan lines
* 'Two scan' panels where **two** rows/lines are updated in parallel.
* 64x32 (width x height) 'Indoor' panels, such as this [typical RGB panel available for purchase](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/256-128mm-64-32-pixels-1-16-Scan-Indoor-3in1-SMD2121-RGB-full-color-P4-led/32810362851.html). Often also referred to as 1/16 'scan panel' as every 16th row is updated in parallel (hence why I refer to it as 'two scan')
* 64x64 pixel 1/32 Scan LED Matrix 'Indoor' Panel
* 'Four scan' panels where **four** rows/lines are updated in parallel.
* 32x16 pixel 1/4 Scan LED Matrix 'Indoor' Panel using an ingenious workaround as demonstrated in the Four_Scan_Panel example.
* 126x64 [SM5266P](https://github.com/mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-I2S-DMA/issues/164)

### Can I use with a larger panel (i.e. 64x64px square panel)?
If you want to use with a 64x64 pixel panel (typically a HUB75*E* panel) you MUST configure a valid *E_PIN* to your ESP32 and connect it to the E pin of the HUB75 panel! Hence the 'E' in 'HUB75E'

# More Information
## Build-time options
Although Arduino IDE does not [seem](https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/421) to offer any way of specifying compile-time options for external libs there are other IDE's (like [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org/)/[Eclipse](https://www.eclipse.org/ide/)) that could use that. Check [Build Options](doc/BuildOptions.md) document for reference.
## Memory constraints Note: Requires the use of [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org/), which you should probably use if you aren't already.
If you are going to use large/combined panels make sure to check for [memory constraints](/doc/i2s_memcalc.md).
NOTE: You can use SPIRAM/PSRAM to drive the HUB75 DMA buffer only on the ESP32-S3 and with Octal SPI-RAM (i.e. ESP32 S3 N8R8 variant). However, due to bandwidth limitations, the maximum output frequency is limited to approx. 16Mhz, which will limit the real world number of panels that can be chained without flicker being obvious. This is enabled at compile time, refer to [the build options](/doc/BuildOptions.md) to enable.
For all other ESP32 variants (like the most popular original ESP32), [only *internal* SRAM can be used](https://github.com/mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-I2S-DMA/issues/55), so you will be limited to the ~200KB or so of 'free' SRAM regardless of how many megabytes of SPIRAM/PSRAM you may have connected.

## Latch blanking ## Latch blanking
If you are facing issues with image ghosting when pixels has clones with horizontal offset, than you try to change Latch blanking value. Latch blanking controls for how many clock pulses matrix output is disabled via EO signal before/after toggling LAT signal. It hides row bits transitioning and different panels may require longer times for proper operation. Default value is 1 clock before/after LAT row transition. This could be controlled with `MatrixPanel_I2S_DMA::setLatBlanking(uint8_t v)`. v could be between 1 to 4, default is 1, larger values won't give any benefit other than reducing brightness.
