1. How to use

Hardware

Need to connect 4 wires only.
3.3V supply, GND, and I²C signal lines (SDA, SCL)
This LED matrix board has 10kΩ pull-up resisters on both SDA and SCL. So user don't nee to put those.

1.2 Software

1.2.1 Before compiling

Just import this program and run on mbed.
Before compiling, set the PinName for your mbed.

PCA9622_LED8x8  matrix( p28, p27 );     //  for 40pin type mbed
//PCA9622_LED8x8  matrix( D14, D15 );   //  for Arduino type mbed
//PCA9622_LED8x8  matrix( dp5, dp27 );  //  for mbed LPC1114

This code was tested on mbed LPC1768, mbed LPC11U24, mbed LPC1114FN28, TG-LPC11U35-501, mbed LPC1549, LPCXpresso824-MAX.

1.2.2 Customising

Modifying func() function will give different behavior of brightness pattern.

#include "mbed.h"
#include "PCA9622_LED8x8.h"

//  Choose a target platform from next list
PCA9622_LED8x8  matrix( p28, p27 );     //  for 40pin type mbed
//PCA9622_LED8x8  matrix( D14, D15 );   //  for Arduino type mbed
//PCA9622_LED8x8  matrix( dp5, dp27 );  //  for mbed LPC1114

float func( float x, float y, float t );    //  function to make 8x8 image

int main()
{
    float   image[ 8 ][ 8 ];  //  
    int     count   = 0;
    
    matrix.start();

    while(1) {
        
        //  making 8x8 image to "image" array
        for ( int i = 0; i < 8; i++ )
            for ( int j = 0; j < 8; j++ )
                image[ i ][ j ]   = func( i, j, count * 0.2 );

        //  set the image into library internal bufer
        matrix.set_data( image );

        count++;
        wait( 0.05 );
    }
}

float func( float x, float y, float t )
{
//#define     DISPLAY_OFFSET  3.5
#define     DISPLAY_OFFSET  0
#define     SIZE            0.3

    float   s;
    
    x   = (x - DISPLAY_OFFSET) * SIZE;
    y   = (y - DISPLAY_OFFSET) * SIZE;

    s   = cos( powf( x * x + y * y, 0.5 ) - t );
    return ( powf( s, 4.0 ) );
}
