Memory issue with G2553

[Gareeeesh 2]

Hi people!

 

Basically I'm writing a function to control a 16x16 RGB LED matrix with serial communication.

 

The function I'm writing requires an array of size 16x16 ( hueBuffer[16][16] ) and of type 'short' since the max value of hue is 359.

 

However, I keep getting an error: "program will not fit into available memory.  run placement with alignment fails for section "DATA_GROUP" size 0x23d" but there is plenty of memory on the G2553.

 

I need the values of hue to go up to 360 so i cant use unsigned chars.

 

Anyone know of a solution to this problem?
 

I'll post the code if you want.

 

Cheers!

Here are your options:

Use F5xxx series

Use external SPI SRAM

Use G2955

Rickta and Rob both have SPI SRAM examples. 

Interface 23K256 SPI RAM with USI SPI

Serial SPI memory functions

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but I solved it. I'm just gonna use unsigned chars with 180 being the max value, then (180*2)-1.

The Hue values arent as accurate but it does the job.

 

Thanks again!
