#27431 — What is the best Microcontroller for interfacing the Matrix Display

 Hello All,

My current project is to interface the display to the controller that gets the data through a Ethernet port and displays it on P10 LED display.

I have a 16X32 P10 LED display. I have to make a 32X64 display with four such displays.
The controller gets the data from either Zigbee or Ethernet (Using HTTP or TCP/IP protocol), extracts the information from the received packets and finally displays it on the Matrix Display.

Can someone suggest me what is the best controller that has both Zigbee and Ethernet for interfacing the Matrix display (Preferred would be Ethernet since interested to get the data from the Ethernet) ?

Software is the most important aspect since no where I got the information about the display code for P10 display and getting or communicating through the Ethernet.
 
I thought of going with PIC controllers but no where the code is available for getting the data from the Ethernet and interfacing the display.

You didn't mention a required frame rate, but 
if it's not too high you could use an ESP8266
WiFi controller. The ESP8266-12 has several 
GPIO, UART, SPI, and programs in the Arduino 
environment.

The advantage is that you don't have to use 
up GPIO integrating a uC with a separate WiFi 
solution.

Connectivity code examples generally come with 
the Arduino IDE.

THanks for the reply,..
It looks ok for me but there is  no ethernet port...

It's WiFi, yes. When you mentioned Zigbee,
I assumed a wireless solution was OK.

Your static requirements state a Zigbee/Ethernet to shift register 
output converter (maybe even SPI compatible).  Just about any MCU will 
have GPIOs needed for your display output.  You just need a MCU with 
Zigbee or Ethernet.  You really need to understand your cost and dynamic 
requirements (like data throughput, frame rate, etc).  That will help 
you find the right part (or parts).

If you don't need to do many pieces I would go for a Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone, etc. and make a small HAT with the display and the zigbee dongle (if it doesn't exist already).

Or go for the www.mbed.org boards. Low cost, lot of examples, RTOS, etc.

Very easy with a Propeller chip and one of my MagJack format W5500 WIZnet modules for the hardwired Ethernet. I have server code for HTTP/FTP and Telnet while the Propeller chip with its multiple cores handles I/O tasks easily. I'm guessing though that you either use shift registers or a decoder for the 32 columns with 16 I/O directly driving the rows. Telnet is a way of sending commands and data to it serially, or you could go Zigbee just as easily.

How about https://www.wiznet.hk ?

cheers
