What is the best Microcontroller for interfacing the Matrix Display

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C1294NCPDT

Hello All,

My current project is to interface the display to the controller that gets the data through a Ethernet port and displays it on P10 LED display.

I have a 16X32 P10 LED display. I have to make a 32X64 display with four such displays.
The controller gets the data from either Zigbee or Ethernet (Using HTTP or TCP/IP protocol), extracts the information from the received packets and finally displays it on the Matrix Display.

Can someone suggest me what is the best controller that has both Zigbee and Ethernet for interfacing the Matrix display (Preferred would be Ethernet since interested to get the data from the Ethernet) ?

Software is the most important aspect since no where I got the information about the display code for P10 display and getting or communicating through the Ethernet.

    Hello Obulesu,

    If each off your P10 LED displays has a built-in controller, then it should be feasible for the TM4C to receive data over Ethernet and control each panel. I don't know the details of the panels enough to say that for sure though... if you provide such detail I may be able to provide further feedback.

    You will want to look at something like our TM4C1294NCPDT which has a great LaunchPad that includes an Ethernet jack already: http://www.ti.com/tool/EK-TM4C1294XL

    You will also need TivaWare to begin working with Ethernet examples:  http://www.ti.com/tool/sw-tm4c
