32x32 RGB LED Matrix Panel - 6mm pitch

OverviewPinoutWiringRelated groups
32x32 RGB LED Matrix Panel - 6mm pitch — Adafruit — 1484

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.

Displays

Character LCDs, SPI TFTs, e-paper modules and larger capacitive-touch TFT panels solve different display jobs. Treat display class, interface, controller, resolution, touch, refresh behaviour, storage, voltage and mounting as separate swap checks.
