Hi everyone,

I just finished (actually started :p) my 5*24 LED array and I encountered a problem. It seems that only the cathodes' rows are working. To be clear, as there's 24 rows of LEDS and the first one is #0, we can see that rows #0, #2, #4... and #22 don't work at all.

To be sure, I double check the wiring on the board and on the array and it seems OK. Also I test the array with ledarray test compile file, so I'm pretty sure that all the LEDs should be working.

Any Ideas?

thanks for your answers

Cedric

Did you know that LEDs (light emitting diodes) only conduct current in one direction, like normal diodes? Learn more...
