Contigious writing using 1632C

Sri

Hi,
i am using 1632C. i am using 24X16 Led Matrix Display. i sent all the data in successive address writing. i can view the data that i am sending. when i keep the data in continous loop, i found that data is getting shifted. it is not periodical. it is Random. i kept 500ms delay for writing of data. there is no flickering. everything is fine. But only the thing is data is shifting in group of locations. the locations group is also random. the data which i am displaying is sent to hyper terminal. i found the data is correct. Can u please give me the suggestion. i am at the completion of the project.

rgds

Attaching your code would be a good start.

Since you provided C code and you are in a Basic Stamp forum, there's one issue there. What microcomtroller are you using? If you do a search on the Paralax forums (in particular the SX forum) for the key word HT1632 or HT1632C you will see some of my code and others. One issue I saw was that Sure Electronics sells a couple of displays that used the obsolete HT1632 chip and have now gone to the current HT1632C chip. There are some differences in the coding that you can not get HT1632 code to work on a HT1632C chip. I think it's the master or reset command that's one difference. If you do the search on the forum for HT1632C you will see a post from me that describes the differences.

Take a look at this and it will provide the coding changes between the HT1632 and the HT1632C

i gone through the changes before starting the project. the display is working fine. but the only problem is the data is shifting at random intervals (ex: 2mins, 1 min/ start of the display). it is not sequential or periodical. i am writing the data in successive addressing mode. the procedure i am following after the initialization is. i am issuing command, initial address (0) and subsequent data.
i am using the controller Luminary make LM3S3748
