hi

Great job !.. I'm working on this project and not able to extend the chain length, (in rpi-rgb-led-matrix used -c option to extend the chain length) , how to extend the chain length in this project.

Thanks
Alex

You mean you are using it with the led matrix ? Try --led-chain instead of -c

Hi,
I tired with this command ./send-text -h localhost --led-chain=2 --led-rows=32 -f fonts/9x18.bdf "flaschen taschen" but this error popup ./send-text: invalid option -- '-'`

Thanks
Alex

the --led-chain you need to give on the server, as that is running the LED. That server then provides the display you send stuff with clients such as send-text.

The send-text only needs the right size of your display with -g192x32 for instance.

Hi.
Its working , but it is only using only 48x32, but mine is 64x32.

Did you make sure to set the resolution in the client program so that it knows how big of a framebuffer to send ?

 ./send-text -g64x32 ...

yes , its only -g64x32, ./send-image -g64x32 -h localhost ../img/spixels-video.jpg

Hi,
I got out of that issue by using -D 64x32 on server side. Thanks for your support.

Thanks
