Detailed Description

template<typename DriverT>
class SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >

Template class for controlling segment-based LED bar meters using row/column mappings.

This class provides flexible control over bar meter displays by mapping logical segments to physical LED positions defined by [device, row, col] coordinates. It supports:

Direction inversion (FORWARD or REVERSE)
Custom or preset segment layouts
Matrix-style or linear segment addressing
Split bar meters spanning multiple devices of the same driver type

Compatible with any driver that implements the SBK display driver API, including SBK_MAX72xx (hardware/software SPI) and SBK_HT16K33 (I2C).

Typically used via the higher-level SBK_BarDrive wrapper for simplified control and animation support.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SBK_BarMeter() [1/4]

template<typename DriverT>

SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::SBK_BarMeter	(	DriverT *	driver,
		uint8_t	devIdx,
		MatrixPreset	matrixPreset = MatrixPreset::BL28_3005SK,
		BarDirection	direction = BarDirection::FORWARD,
		uint8_t	rowOffset = 0,
		uint8_t	colOffset = 0 )

inline

Construct a SBK_BarMeter using a predefined matrix-style layout.

Parameters

driver	Pointer to the LED driver (e.g., SBK_MAX72xx or SBK_HT16K33).
devIdx	Index of the first device in the chain (0–7).
matrixPreset	Preset mapping type from the MatrixPreset enum.
direction	Bar fill direction (FORWARD or REVERSE). Default is FORWARD.
rowOffset	Optional row offset (if the matrix is not wired to the first row). Default is 0.
colOffset	Optional column offset (if the matrix is not wired to the first column). Default is 0.

This constructor simplifies setup by using a predefined segment-to-row/column mapping, useful for SBK matrix-type bar meters such as SK28 or SA28 models.

◆ SBK_BarMeter() [2/4]

template<typename DriverT>

SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::SBK_BarMeter	(	DriverT *	driver,
		uint8_t	devIdx,
		uint8_t	rowsNum,
		uint8_t	colsNum,
		BarDirection	direction = BarDirection::FORWARD,
		uint8_t	rowOffset = 0,
		uint8_t	colOffset = 0 )

inline

Construct a SBK_BarMeter with a custom matrix size (rows × columns layout).

Parameters

driver	Pointer to the LED driver (e.g., SBK_MAX72xx or SBK_HT16K33).
devIdx	Index of the first device in the chain (0–7).
rowsNum	Number of matrix rows (anodes). May span multiple devices vertically.
colsNum	Number of matrix columns (cathodes). Limited to the column capacity of a single device.
direction	Optional bar fill direction (FORWARD or REVERSE). Default is FORWARD.
rowOffset	Optional row offset, if the matrix does not begin on the first driver row. Default is 0.
colOffset	Optional column offset, if the matrix does not begin on the first driver column. Default is 0.

This constructor allows you to define a matrix-style bar layout with a custom size and origin, without using a predefined MatrixPreset.

⚠️ Note: Columns cannot be split across devices. Only rows may be extended vertically over multiple devices. Attempting to configure more columns than the driver hardware supports will result in clamping.

Useful for adapting custom matrix layouts or hardware not covered by presets.

◆ SBK_BarMeter() [3/4]

template<typename DriverT>

SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::SBK_BarMeter	(	DriverT *	driver,
		uint8_t	devIdx,
		uint8_t	segsNum,
		BarDirection	direction = BarDirection::FORWARD,
		uint8_t	segOffset = 0 )

inline

Construct a SBK_BarMeter with a fixed number of vertical segments (non-matrix layout).

Parameters

driver	Pointer to the LED driver (e.g., SBK_MAX72xx or SBK_HT16K33).
devIdx	Index of the device in the chain (0–7).
segsNum	Number of logical segments (LEDs) in the bar meter.
direction	Optional bar fill direction (FORWARD or REVERSE). Default is FORWARD.
segOffset	Optional segment offset if the bar does not start at the first LED output. Default is 0.

This constructor is intended for 1D segment-based bar displays, such as linear bars where each segment is addressed sequentially (not via a 2D matrix).

The segOffset allows you to skip physical outputs if the display is not connected to the first pin of the device. This is useful when sharing a device across multiple bar segments or skipping unused lines.

⚠️ If the specified device index exceeds the available device count, the bar meter is initialized as empty.

◆ SBK_BarMeter() [4/4]

template<typename DriverT>

template<size_t N>

SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::SBK_BarMeter	(	DriverT *	driver,
		uint8_t	devIdx,
		const uint8_t(&)	mapping[N][3],
		BarDirection	direction = BarDirection::FORWARD,
		bool	progmem = false,
		uint8_t	rowOffset = 0,
		uint8_t	colOffset = 0 )

inline

Construct a SBK_BarMeter using a custom pixel mapping array.

Template Parameters

N	Number of segments (inferred automatically from array size).

Parameters

driver	Pointer to the LED driver (e.g., SBK_MAX72xx or SBK_HT16K33).
devIdx	Index of the first device in the chain (0–7).
mapping	Array of [device, row, col] tuples defining the physical LED position for each segment.
direction	Optional bar fill direction (FORWARD or REVERSE). Default is FORWARD.
progmem	Set to true if the mapping array is stored in PROGMEM (Flash memory). Default is false.
rowOffset	Optional offset to apply to all mapped row indices. Default is 0.
colOffset	Optional offset to apply to all mapped column indices. Default is 0.

This constructor gives you full control over how each logical segment maps to a specific LED location on a matrix or linear display, across one or more devices. It is ideal for:

Non-standard matrix layouts
Discontinuous or irregular bar patterns
Hybrid/multi-device configurations

⚠️ If the specified devIdx is invalid (beyond the available devices), the bar is initialized as empty.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

template<typename DriverT>

void SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::clear ( )

inline

Clear all bar segments.

Definition at line 331 of file SBK_BarDrive.h.

References setPixel().

◆ debugSegmentMapping()

template<typename DriverT>

void SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::debugSegmentMapping ( Stream & stream = Serial )

inline

Print the segment-to-device mapping for debugging purposes.

This function outputs the resolved mapping of each logical segment index to its corresponding [device, row, column] LED coordinates, based on the internal configuration (preset, custom map, or auto-mapped layout).

Useful for verifying how segments are translated into physical driver outputs, especially when using segment offsets, matrix presets, or split-device configurations.

Parameters

stream Reference to a Stream object (e.g., Serial) for printing output. Defaults to Serial if not specified.

Definition at line 368 of file SBK_BarDrive.h.

◆ getDirection()

template<typename DriverT>

BarDirection SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::getDirection ( ) const

inline

Get the current bar fill direction.

Returns: BarDirection enum.

Definition at line 347 of file SBK_BarDrive.h.

◆ getPixelState()

template<typename DriverT>

uint8_t SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::getPixelState ( uint8_t segment ) const

inline

Get the current state of a bar segment (pixel).

This function returns the last known ON/OFF state of a segment. It queries the driver’s internal buffer (not the physical IC).

Direction and segment mapping are handled internally, so the returned value always corresponds to the logical segment number.

Parameters

segment Index of the segment to query (0 to _segsNum - 1).

Returns: 1 if the segment is ON, 0 if OFF, or 0 if invalid or driver unavailable.

Definition at line 420 of file SBK_BarDrive.h.

◆ getSegsNum()

template<typename DriverT>

uint8_t SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::getSegsNum ( ) const

inline

Get the total number of segments in the bar.

Returns: Number of segments.

Definition at line 353 of file SBK_BarDrive.h.

◆ setDirection()

template<typename DriverT>

void SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::setDirection ( BarDirection dir )

inline

Set the bar fill direction.

Parameters

dir	New direction (FORWARD or REVERSE).

Definition at line 341 of file SBK_BarDrive.h.

◆ setMatrixOffset()

template<typename DriverT>

SBK_BarMeter & SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::setMatrixOffset	(	uint8_t	rowOffset,
		uint8_t	colOffset )

inline

Apply a matrix-style physical offset for row/column positioning.

Parameters

rowOffset	Number of rows to shift downward.
colOffset	Number of columns to shift rightward.

Returns: Reference to this instance.

Those offsets are better used with matrix led display matrixPreset, like BL28 matrixPreset where the matrix is not connected to the firsts IC row/column.

Definition at line 457 of file SBK_BarDrive.h.

References SBK_BarMeter().

◆ setPixel()

template<typename DriverT>

void SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::setPixel	(	uint8_t	segment,
		uint8_t	state )

inline

Set the on/off state of a logical segment (LED).

Parameters

segment	Index of the logical segment to control (0 to getSegNum() - 1).
state	true to turn the LED on, false to turn it off.

This function resolves the segment index to its corresponding [device, row, col] location and updates the internal buffer of the underlying driver. The change will not be visible until show() is called.

Referenced by clear().

◆ setSegmentOffset()

template<typename DriverT>

SBK_BarMeter & SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::setSegmentOffset ( uint8_t offset )

inline

Apply a segment-wise offset (shifts segment index before mapping to row/col).

Parameters

offset Number of segments to skip.

Returns: Reference to this instance.

This offset is better used with a 1 to 1 ICs output to led display where the display do not start on the first IC output.

Definition at line 441 of file SBK_BarDrive.h.

References SBK_BarMeter().

◆ show()

template<typename DriverT>

void SBK_BarMeter< DriverT >::show ( )

inline

Push the current LED state buffer to the physical display.

This flushes the internal buffer of the underlying driver to all connected devices — not just the one associated with this bar meter instance — making any recent changes (e.g., via setPixel() or clear()) visible on the actual hardware.

Internally calls _driver->show() to update the display.
