Making a Driver for 8 X 36 LED Matrix Display…

This is second step of making a moving text LED matrix…

The following circuit diagram is driver part-1 for 8 X 36 LED matrixes. You can build this circuit simply using a Vero board. The second part of driver circuit (Heart of the driver) is based on PIC16F84A microcontroller unit and I will present it with all details and assembly language program. If you have some knowledge about PIC microcontrollers, it may be useful for this project.

8 X 36 LED Matrix Driver Circuit Part-2 Will Be Soon...

Idea for Easy, Clean and Solid LED Matrix Using Vero Boards…

This is the first step for making moving text LED matrix...

Fist of all, you need two or more Vero boards like show in following picture for this project.


Then now you should cut your LED pins like show in following picture.



Now solder only short pin of LED to one Vero board like following.




After that set up another Vero board perpendicularly to first one.

Now you can solder remaining LED pin to this new Vero board.

Now your clean and solid LED matrix is ready…

This is really practical method; following pictures are evidence for it…
