Keywords: visual persistence; LED Display; data transmission

As a new type of display material, LED dot matrix has developed rapidly in recent years and has a good market prospect. Among them, LED large screen display is widely used in industry, transportation, commercial advertising, press release, sports competition, electronic scene simulation and other fields. However, the existing LED large screen requires a large number of LEDs and driving chips, and the control is complicated, making the display screen expensive and difficult to operate. At present, there are some research results in China that show the disadvantages of uneven brightness and real-time display. It is understood that the content to be displayed is generally burned into the chip, the content is fixedly displayed, and the display content and display mode cannot be changed in real time, which is inconvenient to use and expensive. This paper will apply a principle of visual persistence to develop a new type of ring display system. The motor drives a column of 64-bit LEDs to rotate at a high speed, and the precise control of the single-chip microcomputer realizes the clear display of characters, graphics and simple dynamic pictures, and can change the display content and display mode in real time. The system principle is ingenious, high in technical content, low in cost, and has broad market prospects, which can become a new economic growth point.

1 principle

1.1 Visual persistence effect

The visual persistence effect refers to the light emitted or reflected by the scene. The light image formed on the human retina will remain in the human vision for a period of time. Even if the scene disappears from the field of vision, the resulting light image will not disappear immediately. . The retention time is about 0.05 to 0.2 s. Experiments show that when the external light source suddenly disappears, the brightness of the human eye is gradually reduced exponentially. In this way, when a light source is repeatedly turned on and off, when the switching frequency is low, the human eye can find the change of brightness; and when the switching frequency is increased, the eye gradually cannot find the corresponding brightness change. The experimental results show that the critical flicker frequency is about 24 Hz. Therefore, a movie with 24 frames per second is seen as a continuous moving image. Because of the persistence of vision, when people repeatedly turn on and off the light at a critical flicker frequency, the subjective brightness perception is actually the average of the objective brightness. The visual persistence effect can be said to be the visual physiological basis of static image and moving image display. When the light source is pulsed (very small interval), people will feel that it is always shining, is the average brightness.

1.2 Display basic principles

This system uses the principle of visual persistence to achieve the display of characters or images. 64 super bright LEDs are arranged side by side in a row, and then the Chinese characters to be displayed are decomposed into 32Ã—32 dot matrix, and the pattern is decomposed into 64Ã—64 dot matrix. The data of each column is sequentially ordered by the single chip microcomputer. Sending to the LED dot matrix, the LED rotates by the high-speed rotation of the motor, and the content to be displayed is refreshed every turn, so that the effect of the display content seen by the human eye is the same as the continuous display of the plane due to the persistence effect of the human eye. .

2 hardware system

The hardware system mainly consists of two parts: the mobile controller and the display screen, as shown in Figure 1. The mobile controller is mainly responsible for receiving the data of the PC end software, adding the control characters and saving, and also sending specific control commands to the display screen, switching the display content, and changing the display effect. The display mainly has motor control speed and MCU control E 3j LED display content.

3 software system

3.1 PC software

PC software is programmed with Visual Basic 6.0. Can directly take the font, send data, friendly interface, easy to operate. The main function is to convert Chinese characters, English, numbers and graphics on a PC into real-time data information in real time, and transfer this data to the MCU through the serial port of the PC.

3.1.1 Design ideas

The software adopts real-time mode modulo: data graphics - data. By introducing the intermediate amount of graphics, the extracted fonts become flexible, and any font or symbol can be converted instantly. Pc machine software main program flow chart shown in Figure 2.

3.1.2 Character modulo flow

The content of the text box is set to empty when the user clicks on the text box. After the input is completed, the user presses the modulo button, and the program first determines whether the population is a character or a graphic. If it is determined to be in character mode, the extracted single character is mapped to the picture frame. Judging whether the current character is a Chinese character or a non-Chinese character, the Chinese character is a 32 x 32 dot matrix, and the English, numeric, and symbol are 16 x 32 dot matrix. The modulo part adopts the intersection point modulo. After the character is mapped to the picture frame, the intersection color is judged, the black is judged as 0, and the white is judged as 1. And output the modulo data to the output text box. The character extension function is designed for the accuracy of 32Ã—32 dot matrix. When some characters are not displayed, the color selection is not only 32Ã—32 intersection points, but also each intersection point and a small centered on the intersection point. The point in the range is color-coded. Once a point color in the range is judged to be black, the Boolean value at the intersection is set to 0. Blackface is the default font.

3.1.3 Graphic Molding Process

When the graphic mode is selected, the character modulo function is set to lock, leaving only the character function main button to be activated. Only the graphic frame appears on the interface, and the user can draw or load the image. After the input is completed, the user presses the modulo button, and the program first determines whether the entry is a font or a graphic. Automatically jump into the graphic font segment code when it is determined to be in graphics mode. The modulo part adopts the intersection point modulo. After the graphic is mapped to the picture frame, the intersection color is judged, the black is judged as 0, and the white is judged as 1. And output the modulo data to the output text box.

3.2 Mobile Controller Program

After the program is powered on, it is in a wait state. When the serial port interrupt comes to I, priority is given to the serial port interrupt. Sending wireless data is controlled through the keyboard and menu. The main program flow chart of the mobile controller is shown in Figure 3; the wireless transmission subroutine is shown in Figure 4.

3.3 Display program

The LED is controlled by the MCU and the wireless data is received. After the data is received by the wireless module, the serial interface of the single chip receives the data and transmits it to the main control chip AT89S8252 for processing. When wireless data is transmitted, the received data is processed preferentially. The main program flow chart of the display is shown in Figure 5. The wireless data receiving subroutine flow chart is shown in Figure 6. Whether the display can clearly display the content is mainly considered from the following aspects: 1) The brightness of the LED controlled by the MCU: T=S/V, S is the width of the LED surface, which is the rotational speed of the motor; 2) The axis remains when the motor rotates Balance; 3) ambient light contrast.
