Hi Team,
I mistakenly bought this RUC7258D P3 board from https://hubtronics.in; (main driver is CNS7263GP [https://m.isle.org.cn/news/detail/enterprises?lang=zh&id=554\]) and now not able to use it with Pi 4B & Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet. Tried all the options, but so far nothing worked.
Any help would be useful.
As I already wrote, I don’t have a solution to your problem.
I only wanted to point out something else: you always refer to your panel as a “RUC7258 board”. This isn’t entirely accurate. The RUC7258 chip is a row switcher. There’s nothing special about this chip and it’s supported by all known libraries.
What’s causing problems with your panel is the CNS7263 driver. Therefore, it would be better to change the thread title and ask about the “CNS7263GP board”, making your thread easier to find for anyone encountering the same problem.
I’m unable to edit the post. I ended up ordering an “HD-D16 Full Colour Asynchronous LED Display Controller Card”. I shall post if it works with that controller.
I bought an HD-D16 controller by Huidu company and the panel worked with it. I used HDPlayer software to set it up. Driver CNS7263, Decoding 138.
after that I tried to reverse engineer and look at the Latch and Clock pins on ESP32 serial monitor.
#include <Arduino.h>

// Interrupt triggers ONLY when Latch drops to LOW (End of a command)
void IRAM_ATTR lat_isr() {
int16_t count = 0;
// 1. Instantly pull the hardware count
pcnt_get_counter_value(PCNT_UNIT_0, &count);
// 2. Clear the hardware counter for the next latch
pcnt_counter_clear(PCNT_UNIT_0);
// 3. Filter out normal row data (1 clock) and huge VSYNC overloads (1000+ clocks)
if (count > 2 && count < 1000) {
if (seq_index < MAX_SEQS) {
recorded_pulses[seq_index] = count;
seq_index++;
}
}
}

last_change_time = millis();
}
// If we collected data and 1 FULL SECOND has passed with no new commands...
if (current_index > 0 && (millis() - last_change_time > 1000)) {
noInterrupts(); // Pause briefly to copy data safely
int count = seq_index;
int16_t temp_array[MAX_SEQS];
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++) temp_array[i] = recorded_pulses[i];
// Reset trackers for next time
seq_index = 0;
last_seq_index = 0;
interrupts();
Serial.println("\n[!] INTERCEPTED CONFIGURATION BURST [!]");
Serial.print("LAT HIGH + CLK Pulses: ");
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
Serial.print(temp_array[i]);

this is the sequence I get. not only during booting, but even after that.

Hi !
I don’t understand what this pattern is and how this knowledge will help launch the panel.
I thought those will be the start sequence with A, B, C, & D decoder. but it did not work. I only could do this much. Could not progress any further.
There’s no need to decipher the ABCD decoder’s operation this way; it’s standard and has long been supported by the library.
As I already wrote, the problem with your panel isn’t the decoder, but the CNS7263 driver. To do reverse engineering the protocol, you at least need a logic analyzer to capture the driver’s pulse signals in different modes. By studying these diagrams, one can try to create a description of the protocol, for example, as in the message: Master Bug: PWM panel support and spec sheets for DP32020A DP3264S DP3269S DP3364S DP3367S_CN DP3369S FM6373 iCN2038S ICN2053 MBI5038 MBi5152 MBI5153 MBI5253 MBI5264 MBI5353 · Issue #466 · hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix · GitHub
However, the pulse diagrams and driver parameters are just the beginning; next, based on them, it will be necessary to write code that emulates the operation of the HD-D16 controller.
I would recommend to you to read these two threads:
