Using modified results from pixel_mapping_test in normal situations?

[ccmangagit]

I have an outdoor 64x32 P5 (1921) 8s, which displays in blocks of 8x32 using the normal examples. I've gotten to display correctly via the pixel_mapping_test for four scan panels, and it only needed changing the pixel base value to 32. I'd like to know if I can implement this fix in regular sketches without having to copy everything in pixel_mapping_test over (which I'm doing currently, and replacing instances of dma_display with Fourscanpanel), and especially how to use it to output smaller text. I just need many rows of text.

Also, thanks to everyone for the library, it's much easier to use than smartmatrix, which seems to require old esp32 board libraries. I struggled with that for many, many hours.

Since the pixelbase is defined only in CustomPxBasePanel virtual class, you need to insert it and its key method, getCoords() in your code, as well as a panel initialization from setup().
You can, however, choose a name other than dma_display for your main panel class and than use dma_display instead of Fourscanpanel for your virtual class. It able you to use other library examples without having replacing dma_display to Fourscanpanel identificator.

Thanks for the reply. I have settled on doing this, I was just wondering if there was a simpler way since the "fix" didn't involve much in the way of changes. The thing is there is also always a compile warning of
"VirtualMatrixPanel is depreciated. Please include 'ESP32-HUB75-VirtualMatrixPanel_T.hpp' and use VirtualMatrixPanel_T instead"
even though this is the given "pixel_mapping_test" example sketch.

I'm getting rid of that depreciation message. Ignore it. VirtualMatrixPanel will live on as long as required.
