User Manual

Overview
This guide is for ARDUINO and compatible boards — Arduino Uno, Mega, Zero, and Adafruit Metro 328, Metro M0
and M4. We have a different guide for Raspberry Pi (https://adafru.it/kdh).
Bring a little bit of Times Square into your home with our RGB LED matrix panels. These panels are normally used to
make video walls — here in New York we see them on the sides of buses and on bus stops — to display animations or
short video clips. We thought they looked really cool so we picked up a few boxes from the factory. One has 512 bright
RGB LEDs arranged in a 16x32 grid on the front, the other has 1024 LEDs in a 32x32 grid. On the back is a PCB with
IDC connectors (one set for input, one for output: in theory you can chain these together) and 12 16-bit latches that
allow you to drive the display with a 1:8 (16x32) or 1:16 (32x32) scan rate.
