Dot matrix scrolling text (letter by letter)

Hi,

 

I need help with coming out with a design where the font is in dot matrix and the text comes out as such

 

A B C D E F G H ( first 8 letter)

B C D E F G H I ( A is removed and i is added)

C D E G G H I J ( B is removed and J is added)

 

it works like a scrolling text but is letter by letter and has spacing.

 

 

Thanks for any help 🙂

Hi ZX,

 

to make it the easy way:

- Search for a font that fits your needs. There are free font sources in the internet.

- Then setup a string indicator to use that font.

- Then program a loop that puts a single char followed by a space in the indicator.

- When the string in the indicator holds more than 16 chars you just delete the first two chars (letter and space)...

 

This is a forum of volunteers, and no programming service! Attach what you have programmed so far and we will give suggestions on how to improve…

Asking for a solution (by writing long text) will most often only yield in an answer with long text. 😄

Best regards,
GerdW
