    This document summarizes a code example that demonstrates displaying Latin-1 characters on a Freetronics DMD display using the ISO-8859-1 character encoding. It explains how to enter Latin-1 characters in code by using hexadecimal values corresponding to the character codes. The code initializes the DMD display, sets up an interrupt to regularly refresh the display, and uses the DMD library to draw a marquee text message scrolling across the display using Latin-1 encoded characters.

    dmd_latin_chars

    Demo and example Latin-1 encoding project for the Freetronics DMD, a 512 LED matrix display

    panel arranged in a 32 x 16 layout.

    See http://www.freetronics.com/dmd for resources and a getting started guide.

    This example code is in the public domain. It demonstrates using the ISO-8859-1

    (Latin-1) extended character set. Thanks to Xavier Seignard for contributing

    Latin-1 support.

    *******************************

    HOW TO ENTER Latin-1 CHARACTERS

    *******************************

    Unfortunately entering Latin-1 characters like à or è is not as simple as just

    typing them. Arduino Sketches are saved in Unicode UTF-8 format, but the DMD library

    does not understand Unicode (it's too complex.)

    To enter the characters as Latin-1, look at the codepage layout here and look for

    the hexadecimal digit that corresponds to the character you want.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1#Codepage_layout

    For example, á (lowercase a, rising diacritical mark) has hex value 00E0 in Latin-1.

    To translate this into a constant string, replace the leading 00 with \x - so the

    string could be "The Portugese for rapid is r\xE0pido".

    To be safe, the string may also need to be separated in its own quote marks - ie
    "The Portugese for rapid is r""\xE0""pido"

    When you compile the sketch, the compiler will join all these strings up into one

    long string - however without the quotes around the \x it may try to include additional

    characters as part of the hexadecimal sequence.
