Previous : Control 74595 Using Arduino
So far, we have read a lot about LED matrix and 74595 shift register IC. Click here to start reading about LED matrix from beginning.
In the past few blogs, we found the basics of working of 8*8 LED matrix and shift register IC 74595. In this blog, we will see the circuit to connect 8*8 LED matrix to arduino through shift registers using minimum number of digital pins of arduino. Essence of this circuit is, controlling 64 LEDs using only six digital output pins from arduino. Circuit is given at the bottom of this page. Before starting the circuit, you should be familiar about the pinout diagram of, 8*8 LED matrix and 74595 shift register IC.
Pinout diagram of 8*8 LED matrix
Pinout diagram of 8*8 LED matrix is given below. Refer this blog to get a simple circuit to demonstrate the working of 8*8 LED matrix. Small wedges on the middle of four edges of the 8*8 LED matrix is the indication of the pin from which pin numbering should be started.
Internal Circuit of 8*8 LED matrix
Internal circuit of 8*8 LED matrix is given below. Pin numbering of 8*8 LED matrix is a bit confusing. Read this blog to get a clear idea about the pin numbering of 8*8 LED matrix.
Pin out diagram of 74595
Pinout diagram of 74595 is given below. Two 74595 ICs are used in this circuit. Read this blog to get an idea about the working of 74595.
Next is the circuit diagram. Two 74595 ICs are used to control one LED matrix. One IC is for controlling the rows of LED matrix and the other IC is for controlling the columns of LED matrix. 5V for the working of IC is given from a 5V regulator. SHCP, STCP and DS pins of both 74595 are connected to separate digital output pins of arduino as shown in the circuit. VCC and MRbar of both ICs should be connected to 5V. Gnd and OEbar of both ICs should be connected to the Gnd of voltage source. 100 Ohm current limiting resistors should be connected to the cathode pins of 8*8 LED matrix. If current limiting resistor is connected to the anode pins of 8*8 LED matrix, brightness of LEDs will decrease, when more LEDs will turn on. Gnd pin of arduino should be connected to the gnd pin of voltage source for voltage leveling.
