We thought they looked really cool so we picked up a few boxes of them from a factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese matrices have \u003cstrong\u003e1024 bright RGB LEDs\u003c\/strong\u003e arranged in a \u003cstrong\u003e32x32 grid\u003c\/strong\u003e on the front. On the back there is a PCB with \u003cstrong\u003etwo IDC connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e (one input, one output: in theory you can chain these together) and 12\u003cstrong\u003e 16-bit latches\u003c\/strong\u003e that allow you to drive the display with a 1:16 scan rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese panels require \u003cstrong\u003e13 \u003c\/strong\u003edigital pins (6 bit data, 7 bit control) and a good \u003cstrong\u003e5V \u003c\/strong\u003esupply, up to 4A per panel.

Instead, you're supposed to redraw the screen over and over to 'manually' PWM the whole thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll need about 1600 bytes of RAM to buffer the 12-bit colour image. You cannot use this size panel with an Arduino UNO (ATmega328) or ATmega32u4 - you need a chip with more RAM! These displays are technically 'chainable' - connect one output to the next input - as long as you have the RAM and CPU to handle it\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis display does best with a high speed, high RAM microcontroller like a SAMD21, SAMD51, ESP32, etc. 8-bit micros are going to struggle if they work at all. The good news is that the display is pre-white balanced with nice uniformity so if you turn on all the LEDs it's not a particularly tinted white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a lot of LEDs!

You may have to use consecutive or special pins depending on the driver firmware. We'll be honest: folks who try to wire directly are usually not successful, its easy to get confused and misconnect. For that reason we strongly recommend a ready-to-go board or adapter that makes wiring as easy as plugging in the cables and powering with 5V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe recommend the Matrix Portal ESP32-S3 for a Wi-Fi-enabled powerful plug-and-play board\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe original Matrix Portal with SAMD51 is also a great plug-and-play board if you happen to want a Cortex M4 as a main processor (we recommend the S3 version, above, as it is faster and has more memory)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor many Arduino-shaped boards, you may be able to use our RGB Matrix Shield (check the product page and tutorial for which Arduino-like boards can be used)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe also have RGB Matrix FeatherWings for many Feather boards (check the product page and tutorial for which Feather boards can be used)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Raspberry Pi computers, our RGB Matrix Bonnet is fully plug-and-play for powerful Linux-controlled displays.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a great Protomatter library that works in Arduino and CircuitPython for quick usage of many chained matrices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e These panels are remainder stock from factories that make huge light boards.
