Anyone knows if driver chip ICN2046 works with this library?

There's no specific support of this LED driver chip, or at least, mention of the ICN2046 in the code base.

Feel free to buy us a panel if you want me to look at support. Looks like it might be possible, however the caveat will getting REG1 and REG2 values correct.

Yes, I found that datasheet, too. Hopefully icnd2046 and icn2046 is the same or icn was a typo of the supplier. BTW, this is the first datasheet that exactly describes the config registers. Problem, for my project I need 20 panels, which is a bit risky. I can order one for you, too, if shipping and customs to your country is affordable.

Also, you're unlikely to be able to have 20 panels chained working using a single ESP32 because of the limited memory.

If they're 64x32 pixel panels you'll be hard pressed to get 3bit colour across all 20. 64x64? No chance.

I can do that, but because these chinese suppliers have every week other panels that would be unrelieable. But I asked him if he can deliver these panels a few weeks later after Iborder two test panels.

I know, I cannot use 20 panels on the esp. I will take your library as example and learnung platform. And when I have it running I will try to realize it with an FPGA.

BTW. It will become a screen for retro computer games with 320x256 pixel resolution. Hopefully I can include a ZX Spectrum or Atari ST into the FPGA.
