RGB Matrix LED Display Panel 64x64, 3mm Pitch, 4096 RGB LEDs, High Brightness & Resolution, Compatible with Raspberry Pi, ESP32, Arduino

Used this to set up ClockWise (the Mario clock) with an ESP32. Works great!

Works great. Arrived quick. Can buy it $10 cheaper elsewhere

The media could not be loaded. This is a fun toy for makers and hobbyists or someone looking to build a giant LED matrix (if you link a bunch of these together). I'm using this panel with a Raspberry Pi Zero W and just had some minor hiccups trying to install the necessary tools and libraries for the demos (referenced in the included instruction sheet), but once I got it all set up I was off and running on my own.Wiring the device up to the GPIO pins took a bit of time, and one of the wires was missing the plastic housing so I ended up transferring them all to two larger housings to keep them all in the correct pin positions. I was glad to see the display comes with most of the necessary cables needed to get started, but was disappointed to read that I needed to provide my own power supply... and one that could support 4 amps on 5 volts at that - not very common! Luckily I had an extra 2.5 amp sitting around that I could use to get started while I ordered a new 5v adapter. I also needed to cut the spade connector off the power cable to use the included plug adapter, but that's easy enough.The colors on this are "okay" but not amazing - it'll require a bit of software fine-tuning to match what I'm used to for RGB values. The overall brightness is great - no problems there. I plan to 3D print a diffuser to place on top of the panel but haven't gotten around to that yet. This will continue to be a fun "project" piece for years to come!

It did come with an English language manual which only documents pinouts with no reference to software library locations or signal timing. Even so, I expected it to work ... maybe the panel is "standard." I used the Adafruit Matrix Portal S3 to plug into the input. The led display is powered through the terminal posts on the Portal S3. The Portal S3 is working as it has run several of the Circuit Python demos. The board is dead or some undocumented kind of brick. I describe my setup because its virtually impossible to misconnect the display panel using it. I was sent a dead panel. I expect a replacement once I hear back from the seller.

I am interested in programming and have several Raspberry Pi products so I was anxious to get a screen similar to this so I could set up my own display similar to some of those Kickstarter devices that show sports scores or news or weather. this is basically the same thing that you can order from some of the Chinese websites but you obviously get it a lot faster through amazon. it was extremely easy to hook up to the Raspberry Pi came with the proper instructions and the different pin connections that would be used or needed. I also like that it is a full Square panel so I have lots of real estate to work with. while I am still trying to figure out how to get it to display everything I want and update the screen itself is working I am able to test it and there are no issues there. next I need to build some sort of box or 3D print something some kind of frame so I can display it once I get everything working. the quality seems pretty solid and I have no concerns if it does happen to fall over should I get bumped or something with the dogs or kids running around the house all the time.

I debated not even reviewing this but, to me, providing working sample code for this type of component - in this price range - shouldn't be a big ask.Starting with the hardware... It's light, well labeled, comes with stand-offs and cables. I'd honestly love to get a bunch of these and build my own video wall. It's a pretty cool piece of technology and (from what I could get working on it) seems to work well.Now for the bad part... the software. I have several single board computers, everything from Raspberry Pi to a myriad of Arduino devices of all stripes. I wanted to use this panel with my ESP32 devices - which supposedly are supported, since they have enough RAM and enough GPIO pins. Significantly more than the suggested Mega boards.From an Arduino stance, not just from my particular dev board, I could not get their sample code to compile. Presumably the examples the have Raspberry Pi, since they have sample code for that and other reviewers could get that to work. I spent about 2 hours trying to debug their code and decided to walk away.Maybe I'll revisit it one day. Yes, hobby electronics almost always require some type tinkering. It's the nature of the beast. But having worked with different type of OLEDs, TFTs and LED matrices I haven't had this type of problem before.

What a fun addition to our Pi setup! Works great. Lots of applicable uses!

The media could not be loaded. The paper documentation is minimal, just enough to get you started. There is much more documentation on GIT HUB; you definitely want to go there and read up on it. One thing to note: you CANNOT power this from a Raspberry Pi, Arduino or USB (eg MatrixPortal S3). (That's even mentioned on the first page of the instructions.) A USB port has a limit of 500mA-3A, depending on version, an Arduino has a limit of 200mA and a RPi has a limit of 50mA. One of these panels has 4096 LEDs on it and draws 4A at 5V, which is 20W. That's 20 times the limit of an Arduino and 80 times the limit of a RPi! I bought a 5V power supply to power it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T7FHCK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1Once you power it correctly, it's really pretty cool. They are designed to daisy chain together, so you can create very large displays. It will even display videos with VLC Player.
