-Cumming soon...+A solution to add 8 Meters with 16 LEDs for each Meter. 
 +It contains 2 different Types of PCBs one is the LEDmatrix and the other a slim PCB to mount 16LEDs called meterboard.

 +==== BOM ==== 
 +BIll of Material ​         
 + 
 +Allways look for the cheapest seller, the Price may vary heavy!!! 
 +And look for Local dealers preferred. [[http://​www.midibox.org/​dokuwiki/​doku.php?​id=where_to_order_components]] 
 + 
 +To make a small and easy to connect matrix over a hole Frontplatte is no fun. Thats why i made myself a better solution. Based on the common DOUT modules it can be connected to 3 SRs. 
 + 
 +== The Materials: Mouser == 
 + 
 +  * 3x10pin Header, 517-30310-6002 
 +  * 6x10pin Sockets, 517-D89110-0131HK 
 +  * 16x20pin Header, 517-30320-6002 
 +  * 16x20pin Sockets, 517-D89120-0131HK 
 +  * 20 Wire Ribbon Cable, 523-135-2801-020FT 
 +  * about 80 Green LEDs, 604-WP3A8GD 
 +  * about 80 Yellow LEDs, 604-WP3A8YD 
 +  * about 80 Red LEDs, 604-WP3A8HD ​

 +Project Order Basket on Mouser: [[http://​www.mouser.com/​ProjectManager/​ProjectDetail.aspx?​AccessID=5ecf7b4949]] 
 + 
 +The PCB is available under:  
 +[[https://​www.vlrlab.com/​home/​18-ledmatrix.html]] 
 +[[https://​www.vlrlab.com/​home/​19-meterboard.html]] 
 + 
 +==== How to get Started ==== 
 + 
 +The LEDs are mounted to the Edge of the Meterboard to get a very slim form. That makes it a bit harder to solder them but i guess that no one wont be able to do it.  
 +To solder the Header to the Edge there is a wite triangle printed to the PCB on one side. This Triange has to match with the Triangle on the Header. 
 + 
 +==== Prepare the PCB ==== 
 +Well you should now by now how to solder Headers... :-) 
 + 
 +==== Prepare the Connection ==== 
 + 
 +Connect the SEL, Row1-8 & Row9-16 with each a DOUT Header.  
 + 
 +==== Test it in MIOS ==== 
 +\\ 
 +I use a Encoder connected directly to a DIN to test. 
 +Assuming that the DOUT is the first device on the chain of J8/9 we need to configure it like this:\\ 
 +\\ 
 +RESET_HW\\ 
 +\\ 
 +LCD "​%C"​\\ 
 +LCD "​@(1:​1:​1)OLED1"​\\ 
 +\\ 
 +# Test D-OUT LEDmatrix board\\ 
 +\\ 
 +DOUT_MATRIX n=1  rows=8 inverted=1 sr_dout_sel1=1 sr_dout_r1=2 ​ sr_dout_r2=3\\ 
 +\\ 
 +# Matrix control by a Encoder connected to DIN\\ 
 +ENC n=1 sr=1 pins=0:1 type=detented2\\ 
 +\\ 
 +EVENT_ENC id= 1  fwd_id=LED_MATRIX:​1 ​  ​type=CC chn= 1 cc= 24  lcd_pos=1:​1:​2 label="​^std_enc"​ LED_MATRIX_PATTERN=1\\ 
 +\\ 
 +LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1  pos= 0  pattern=0000000000000000\\ 
 +LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1  pos= 1  pattern=1000000000000000\\

 +LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1  pos=11 ​ pattern=1111111111110000\\ 
 +LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1  pos=12 ​ pattern=1111111111111000\\ 
 +LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1  pos=13 ​ pattern=1111111111111100\\ 
 +LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1  pos=14 ​ pattern=1111111111111110\\ 
 +LED_MATRIX_PATTERN n= 1  pos=15 ​ pattern=1111111111111111\\ 
 +\\ 
 +Im using my VLR-8oDisp board to show the Values of the encoder. You can change it to any other type of Display-setting... lcd_pos=6:​1:​5 {6=Display number : 1= X-axis : 5= Y-Axis (row)}

 +For any Comment or Question: Forum Thread???
