Smaller font needed for 29x5 matrix in ESPEasy

#1 Post by Bossanova » 08 Dec 2024, 01:22

Hello everyone,

I am currently using the TinyTronics Smart Home RGB LED Matrix 29x5 WS2812E ESP32-S3 with ESPEasy. I’ve managed to display text on the matrix using the NeoMatrix plugin, but I’ve run into a problem: the available fonts are too large for my matrix.

https://www.tinytronics.nl/nl/developme ... e-esp32-s3

The default fonts in ESPEasy are too large to fit within the 5-pixel height of the matrix. As a result, I’m missing two pixels at the bottom, and the text isn’t fully visible.
Matrix configuration:

Width: 29 LEDs
Height: 5 LEDs
Dataflow: Zigzag pattern (columns first).

Any tips, examples, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Erwin

The "Default font" should have a font available that fits, it was added to support this display ;)
