Hi just wondering it is possible to call up and run a Pulse Stick demo on a Glowbit 8x8 matrix?
Or even make a pulse on a matrix?
Cheers

Hey Dean,
Unsure if I am on the right track with my understanding here, but a pulse effect should be pretty easy to run on a matrix with most microcontrollers. The easiest way to make this happen would be to set the matrix up using WLED and create a pulse effect using the App.
As far as it goes with LED projects, WLED is generally the easiest to set up and can do a whole heap of effects that are all Wifi controllable. It’s definitely a good setup to try out.
If I have completely missed this one and you mean something entirely different, let me know and I will have a look into this one for you.

Hi Blyden,
Sorry what I me trying to say is that in your Glowbit guides for the Stick which is 1x 8 you have a pulse demo.
How would this pulse code work on a mtrix where Y is greater than one?

Hey Dean,
I thought I was missing something there, no worries. The library can be adapted in a few ways with the matrix, but it can be done.
There are a couple of options. The pulse can snake along the rows up and down or side to side. You could also adapt it to snake around the perimeter and circle it into the middle or vice versa.
You can also chuck through a wash of all of the 8 pixels on each side across or vertically to the other side.
I can likely provide a simple example depending on which option you are looking for, but it gets a bit more complex than the simple Pulse example we provide for the Glowbit stick, as there’s an extra dimension to account for with a Matrix.
Cheers,
Blayden
