Triple Matrix Bonnet Makes Big Bright Displays 🔴🟢🔵✨
With our latest work on getting HUB75 RGB matrices working on the Raspberry Pi 5
Python package to drive HUB75 rgb matrices on pi5. Contribute to adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka_Raspberry_Pi5_Piomatter development by creating an
we can now create stunning LED displays. But what if we want more pixels? At some point, we max out the bandwidth of the RP1 chip, but we can still squeeze out additional performance by updating the PIO commands to output two or three matrix strings instead of just one.
Thus, the Triple Output RGB Matrix Bonnet you see here! We're using the classic Active-3 pinout
Controlling up to three chains of 64x64, 32x32, 16x32 or similar RGB LED displays using Raspberry Pi GPIO - hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix
with a switch to select whether the 4th or 8th pin is connected to address E.
Since we expect large matrix grids drawing 10A+ of current, there's no onboard power management—the 5V supply should be connected separately through thick power wires. This board is for data only. If you aren't using port 3, the I2C remains available, so we've added a Stemma QT port for extra flexibility.
