Notify me when its in stockPlease note that this version is the 5mm pitch 64x32 RGB LED Matrix. Keep in mind that you cannot drive this size with an Arduino UNO; it's way too large! Use an Arduino Mega, Raspberry Pi, BBB, or another device with sufficient RAM and processing power to handle RGB matrices.
This matrix features 2048 bright RGB LEDs arranged in a 64x32 grid on the front. On the back, there are two IDC connectors (input and output - theoretically, you can chain these together) and 12 16-bit latches that allow you to drive the display with a 1:16 scan rate.
These panels are technically 'chainable' - connect one output to the next input - but our Arduino example code does not yet support this feature (coming soon).
These panels require 13 digital pins (6-bit data, 7-bit control) and a good 5V supply, up to 4A per panel.
Please note 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 Mega, we managed to squeeze 12-bit color (4096 colors) but this display would really shine if driven by an FPGA, CPLD, Propeller, XMOS, or other high-speed multi-core controller. Good news is that the display has a beautiful front with a nice plastic covering, its incredibly bright and has fairly high refresh rates.
On an Arduino, you'll need 16 digital pins, and about 3200 bytes of RAM to buffer the 12-bit color image.
You can order the 64x32 RGB LED Matrix - 5mm Pitch product from the Adafruit category at SAMM Market with competitive prices, same-day shipping, and fast delivery.
