Adafruit Medium 32x32 RGB LED matrix panel

Adafruit Medium 32x32 RGB LED matrix panel

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 on the sides of busses and bus stops, to display animations or short video clips. They have 1024 bright RGB LEDs arranged in a 32x32 grid on the front on a 6mm grid. On the back there is a PCB with a set of dual IDC connectors (one input, one output: in theory you can chain these together) and 12 16-bit latches that allow you to drive the display with a 1:16 scan rate. These work great with the latest version of the Nootropic RGB Matrix Backpack! These displays are technically 'chainable' - connect one output to the next input - but the Arduino example code does not support this (yet). It requires a high speed processor and more RAM than the Arduino has! These panels require 13 digital pins (6 bit data, 7 bit control) and a good 5V supply, up to 2A per panel. We suggest our 2A regulated 5V adapter and then connecting a 2.1mm jack. Please check out our tutorial for more details! Comes with: a single 32x32 RGB panel, one IDC cable and a power cable. Keep in mind that these displays are designed to be driven by FPGAs or other high speed processors: they do not have built in PWM control of any kind. Instead, you're supposed to redraw the screen over and over to 'manually' PWM the whole thing. On a 16 MHz arduino, we managed to squeeze 12-bit color (4096 colors) with 40% CPU usage but this display would really shine if driven by any FPGA, CPLD, Propeller, XMOS or other high speed multi-core controller. T Adafruit has a full wiring diagrams and working Arduino library code with examples from drawing pixels, lines, rectangles, circles and text.
