“Great little interface for the RGB Matrices. Whilst they were out of stock I had to import one from Germany for about twice the price, so great value too. You'll need to do a few (easy) mods if you want to drive a 64x64 matrix, and if you want to control the brightness.”
“What can you say about a PCB that sits on a Raspberry Pi, nothing special to look at. Just plugged it onto the Pi plugged in the display added power, and loaded the software and this just worked. Happy Days !”
“Well made piece of kit - educational in that I had to learn the hard way that having other software running in the background interfered with the GPIO output. Removing a background programme called simh made things work nicely. And expanded the mind in the use of the Raspberry Pi. Quick return email comments from the crew at Pimoroni helped me focus and fix things. Moral: be careful when you clone a SD card from another Pi. You inherit all the stuff that you played with on the first platform!”
“These are great little units, they make using the led screens so much simpler than my previous efforts. I have combined them with a pi zero and a led display to make scrolling signs for a number of the family, and friends (see the vid). They work very well and are easy to install, being the same footprint as a pi zero.”
“Works perfectly on a wide range of RGB tiles with HUB75 connections! :)
