FYI: MKR-RGB Shield Working With Portenta H7 - (A3->A5 Jumper Required)

[jwestmoreland]

Hello All,

Just an FYI - to circle back to this:

The PR for the MRK-RGB Shield is here:

And - in the meantime - you can clone this: and run your MKR-RGB shield on the H7. Just one jumper required and just uncomment:

#define USING_PORTENTA_H7
in MKRRGBMatrix.h

I've only currently tested using the 5x7 font thus far.

If anyone's curious I made use of the shiftOut() function to make this work.

Best Regards,
John W.

Hello All,

You'll need this to build the above:

Please add the above files to your ../cores/arduino directory so you can build - otherwise you will get a 'shiftOutMatrix undefined' type of error.

Also - clean out any temp dirs where the tools will try to keep cached builds since even after updating your files - it'll still result in that error because it's grabbing a cached build to make your project with possibly. It's just better to periodically clean out all of the temp build files.

Regards,
John W.
