3.7 Using the remote control

Need to weld an infrared remote control sensor, the use of the remote control is shown below:

3.8 Setting method of smart setting

a.Select the device in the screen parameter settings and set the color of the module

b．Perform smart settings. In the commonly used smart settings, if there are parameters for the unit board you are currently using, you can directly select them, and then click Send, as shown in the figure below:

If you cannot find the unit board you are currently using in the common smart settings, you can refer to the following methods for smart settings.

⑴Set the width of a unit board

⑵Select the data polarity and OE polarity of the cell board.

When A is on and B is off, it indicates that the data polarity is low and valid.；
When A is brighter than B, it means that the OE polarity is low and effective. When B is brighter than A, the OE polarity is high and effective. When it is not changed, there is no 138 decoder.

(3) The color channel is selected according to the actual situation of the display screen. There is no option for single-primary colors, and only two states are available for states A and B.

⑷. Determine the scanning method of the unit board. As shown in the figure, 16/1 = 16, we know that the current unit board is 16 scans.

⑸. Determine the lighting method according to the lighting condition of the unit board. Draw the point according to the position of the first light on the screen. If you draw a wrong step, you can click “Back” to redraw the point, or you can reset all points and restart the point. After the trace point is completed, name the file set by the smart, and then click OK.

Communication Settings

6.1 The practice of serial line

Our system uses a straight RS232 communication line. The finished product line is shown in the figure：

6.2 Communication settings (serial port)

There are two types of serial connection: 232 and 485.

6.2.1 232 communication

232 communication serial port connection. After the driver is successfully installed, the current device can be found. A computer can only connect one 232 communication serial card.

After the information window prompts to find the device, select the current device name in the screen parameter setting interface to send parameters and programs to the current control card. As shown: When the device is found, the information window displays information.

When the device is not found in the information window, please click the search button, the location is as shown below:：

If still not found, check the serial cable. If the current message window prompts “The device is not bound to the selected screen”, please go to Settings → Screen Parameter Settings and select the device name, as shown in the figure:

If the current message window prompts “The device is not bound to the selected screen”, please enter the settings screen and select the device name as shown：

6.4.2 LAN network card communication

Method: 1. When there are multiple network port cards, change the IP address of the control card to the same network segment as the current LAN. As shown in the figure, change the IP address and device name of the control card in the device management interface and modify the point settings.

2.After the IP address is modified, a new display is created in the software, and the device name is bound when the screen parameters are set.

3.Use cluster sending to send the program, tick all the displays, and then click Send. As shown in the figure:

4.If the control card is on the same network segment, refer to 1, 2, and 3 to complete the setting and send it. If the current control card’s network segment and the main control computer are not on the same network segment, please add the network segment where the control card is located in the communication settings interface For example, the control card is connected to the 192.168.3. * Network segment, the current master computer is on the 192.168.5. * Network segment, and the communication setting interface in the 2020 software needs to add the control card IP 192.168.3. *, Or directly add IP segment 192.168.3.1-192.168.3.254, as shown in the figure:

6.5 Communication settings (Wi-Fi card)

6.5.1 Wi-Fi Card connection

When the Wi-Fi card is connected, first connect the Wi-Fi signal sent by the control card (requires a current computer with a wireless network card, if using a desktop computer, be sure to purchase a wireless network card, and generally use a laptop with a wireless network card) as shown Note: 1 Wi-Fi card has been connected to the current network.

When connecting to Wi-Fi signal, the default password is “88888888”. If you connect in 2020 software, you need to enter the password of “88888888”, as shown in the figure: Click Connect, and the default password can also be modified.

Once Wi-Fi is connected, the device can be found in the software. As shown in the figure: the information window will appear on the online bar of the control card and other information.

Select the current device in the screen parameter settings, and you can send the content to the control card, as shown in the figure：

If the current display is abnormal, set the intelligent setting parameters in the advanced settings of the hardware setting interface. If the current display is normal, you do not need to enter the hardware setting interface. (Regular screen only needs to select common smart settings, non-routine can perform smart settings)

6.5.2 Change the SSID and password of the Wi-Fi card

In the menu bar of the main interface of the software, click Settings → Device Management → Wi-Fi settings to enter and you can start to change the card’s SSID and password.

6.6 How to use a USB flash drive

U disk card is free of wiring and easy to use. Take the conventional P10 monochrome module as an example:

1. Set the screen parameters of the display, select the model of the control card, and hardware parameters. Enter the screen parameter setting interface, and set the display color, screen width, screen height, gray level and other parameters

2. After adding content, text and other areas, click on the USB flash drive to export.
