Bring a little bit of Times Square into your home with this sweet 32 x 32 square RGB LED matrix panel. These panels are normally used to make video walls, here in New York we see them on the sides of busses and bus stops, to display animations or short video clips.
Upper-half red channel data input on the matrix input connector; Adafruit names R1/G1/B1 as RGB data channels, with some panels relabelled R0/G0/B0 but functionally equivalent.
Upper-half green channel data input on the matrix input connector; Adafruit notes label variants and colour-channel swaps on some panel batches.
Upper-half blue channel data input on the matrix input connector; Adafruit notes label variants and colour-channel swaps on some panel batches.
Lower-half red channel data input on the matrix input connector.
Lower-half green channel data input on the matrix input connector.
SPI · I2S · 5V panel power input. · 0V ground return.
Verify supply voltage and logic levels before powering up.
Module pins: 5V, GND, R1, G1, B1, R2, G2, B2. Schematik maps them to your board in the app.

Lower-half blue channel data input on the matrix input connector.
Row address select input A for the RGB matrix panel.
Row address select input B for the RGB matrix panel.
Row address select input C for the RGB matrix panel.
Row address select input D for 32x32 and larger matrix panels where present.
Clock input; Adafruit states CLK is one of the signals that must be connected to the matrix input connector.
Latch/strobe input; Adafruit notes LAT may be labelled STB on some panel variants.
Output-enable input on the matrix input connector.
Panel power input; this 32x32 RGB LED matrix family is powered from 5V supply connections.
Ground return for signal reference and panel power; Adafruit notes ground pins may be unlabelled but still need connection.
HUB75-style input ribbon connector; Adafruit distinguishes INPUT from OUTPUT and explains labels/arrows/notch orientation can identify the input connector.
HUB75-style chained output ribbon connector; Adafruit notes panels support chaining, though Arduino-class use is impractical and their Arduino library does not support chaining.
