Hi Forum
I’m retired coming from Automation with PLC: s getting some idea’s but not knowing “how to” I came here.
When I worked 13 years ago, we used Excel collecting data from the PLC and showing diagrams like motorspeed, temperature a.s.o, quite simple things.
I still “play with “and sometimes support old PLC: s mostly to have something to do.
Now I use an LED matrix 8 * X writing sentences on the matrix using Excel to design letters and calculating hex values to set the pattern for LED: s.
It works fine but lot of cut/past.
Then I just copy the top row to an array in PLC the and it writes "TUV".
I’m thinking about somehow write “Hello World” and Excel can find the pattern for each letter and generate just the top row somewhere in Excel.
Looking in the forum I see that members are far above my knowledge but I’ll be back with Q:s anyhow 😊 but first I’ll see if I can find an idea ”How to”.
