Datasheet
If you're using a 64x64 RGB matrix and either a Bonnet
or a Rev C HAT, use your soldering iron to melt a blob of
solder on the bottom solder jumper so the middle pad is
'shorted' to 8.
(This is compatible with 64x64 matrices in
the Adafruit store. For 64x64 matrices from other
sources, you might need to use 16 instead, check the
datasheet.)
Step 4. Power up your Pi via MicroUSB (optional but suggested)
Connect your Raspberry Pi to power via the microUSB cable, just like you normally would to power it up.
You can power the Pi via the 5V wall plug that is also used for the Matrix but its best to have it powered seperately
Step 5. Plug in the 5V DC power for the Matrix
