3. make a pixels layout file Before you want to make the program for the controller, you need to make the pixels layout file. There four ways for you to make the pixels layout file. a. Manual layout Manual layout is one function of the software LedEdit. It is very easy to use. There four step for you to use the manual layout to make the pixels layout files. First, start manual layout. Second, layout the pixels.
PAGE 6
You need to use the line to connect pixels and pixels. If the line is break. Third, add the port mark. After you have finished layout the pixels, you need to add the port to the pixels. And use the line to connect the port mark and pixels.
PAGE 7
Fourth, analyst the pixels layout whether there some pixels connection is broken. Fifth, save the pixels layout files. It is finished to make a pixels layout files in manual layout, if you want to use the layout file, you need to import .cxb into the software at ‘project config’ menu.
PAGE 8
b. Auto layout If the shape of pixels layout is regular, you can use ‘Auto layout’ function to make to program. You can adjust the horizontal and vertical pixels; also you need to adjust the maximum quantity pixels for each signal port. But before you use ‘Auto Layout’ function, you need to create a new project and setting other information for the project first. Then you can use ‘Auto Layout’ function for the regular shape of pixels layout.
PAGE 9
c. AutoCAD layout We can use AutoCAD to make the pixels layout files. LedEdit can work with AutoCAD very perfectly. We just use circle, line, single line text to make pixels layout in AutoCAD. First, we use the circle tool to draw the pixels. One circle means one pixel. The circle radius can not less than 0.5, The best circle radius is 0.5 for the pixels layout.
PAGE 10
After finished drawing the pixels, you need to use the line tool, to connect the pixels one by one. Before you connect the lines, you need to open the Object Snap settings, and select insertion and center choice.
PAGE 11
The last step is using single line text to add the port mark., p1 means port 1, p2,means port 2, p3 means port 3… , p20 means port 20. When you finished drawing the pixels layout, you must save as ‘.dxf’ file.
PAGE 12
d. CorelDraw layout At this page, we will show you how to use CorelDraw to make the pixels layout file. We just use ellipse tool , pen tool , text tool. First we need to draw the ellipses. the ellipses’ width and height must be more than 10*10mm. We need to draw the ellipses for the shape you want. After we finished drawing the ellipses, you need to use the pen tool to connect the ellipse one by one.
PAGE 13
Next step, we need to add the port mark, p1 means port one, p2 means port2, p3 means port 3 … p20 means port 20. the port mark text can not larger than the ellipses’ height and width. Then use pen tool to connect the port mark text and the ellipse. At the end we need to save the files as ‘.

6. Record After we open the effect video, we need to record the effect, and export the program for the controller. a. Record Record, means record from now on, and you must stop recording by your hand. b. Recording current (.swf)----------- --Recording current means recording the whole effect frames, from the beginning to the end, and it will stop automatically. There is no need for you to stop recording by you hand. 7. Preview and Edit the effect a.

Export effect .led----------Export effect program .led is for the controller SD card.
PAGE 19
When export effect finished, we can find there is one folder ‘led’, there is program in the folder. Before you copy the program to the SD card, you need to format the SD card as ‘FAT’ file system.. b. Export Instruction The instruction is for you to read, how many pixels the project have. How many piece controller we have use. And what is the pixels quantity for each port.
