Product information "64x32 RGB LED matrix - 4mm grid"
This version is the 4mm grid 64x32 RGB LED matrix. Please note that you can't use an Arduino UNO to drive this size, it's way too big! Use an Arduino Mega, Raspberry Pi, BBB or other device that can handle displaying RGB matrices and has plenty of RAM.
This is similar to our 3mm grid 64x32 RGB LED matrix panel, but the LEDs on this panel are further apart (a 4mm grid) so you don't need to be really close to see it. It's designed to look good indoors, even with a wide viewing angle (160 degrees), and to look good in ambient light. If you're looking for a wider grid for a greater viewing distance, check out our 6mm grid 64x32 RGB LED matrix or our 5mm grid 64x32 RGB LED matrix.
This matrix has 2048 bright RGB LEDs arranged in a 64x32 grid on the front. On the back is a board with two IDC connectors (one input, one output: theoretically you can daisy chain these together) and 12 16-bit latches that allow the display to be driven at a 1:16 sample rate.
These displays are technically "daisy chainable" - connect one output to the next input - but our Arduino example code does not (yet) support this. 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 of up to 4A per panel.
Comes with:
- A single 64x32 RGB panel,
- One IDC cable
- One pluggable power cable
Of course, we wouldn't leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!". We have a full schematic and working code for the Arduino library with examples of drawing pixels, lines, rectangles, circles and text. You'll be making your colour pop within the hour! On an Arduino, you will need 16 digital pins and about 3200 bytes of RAM to buffer the 12-bit colour image.
Please note:
- The back of the matrix will be either green or black
- This product can be supplied with one or two power connectors
- There may be a short coupled data cable installed in the centre

Adafruit: The expert for open source hardware
For more than ten years, programmers and tinkerers have benefited from the expertise of the Adafruit brand. Whether for beginners or proven experts, Adafruit has the right hardware components ready for your next IoT project.
Light comes into the dark with Adafruit NeoPixel
One extremely popular product line from the company's broad portfolio is Adafruit NeoPixel. These nifty LED components come in a wide variety of designs and color temperatures. NeoPixel modules are available, for example, in the form of a practical stick with five intelligent LEDs in red, green and blue (RGB) or in white (W), as a shield with 40 eye-saving RGBW LEDs in which all pixels are individually addressable, and as a jewel with seven RGBW LEDs that can be controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel.
Especially popular is the Adafruit NeoPixel Ring with 16 ultra-bright, intelligent RGB LEDs including integrated drivers, which you only need a single microcontroller to control. The trick is that the Adafruit NeoPixel rings form a chain, so to speak: You couple the output pin of one with the input pin of the other.
With the Adafruit NeoPixel products you can realize a wide variety of projects - there are virtually no limits to your creativity. With the help of an Arduino, a jumper cable and the appropriate software, you can control a NeoPixel ring individually and light up the small LEDs as you wish - either individually or in a specific combination. This way, you can also create your own Vu meter with the versatile LED components. Practical: To make programming Adafruit NeoPixel easier, Adafruit provides an Arduino library as well as a Python library.
Adafruit Feather Boards: Powerful hardware in a compact format
With Adafruit Feather, the hardware specialist from the States also has various powerful development boards in its range, which are essentially equivalent to an Arduino in terms of function. All of these boards are equipped with similar features; among other things, the pin assignment is the same and there are also many parallels when it comes to the microcontrollers and the battery charging properties. In addition, you can also find Feather boards with special devices like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular network connectivity as well as boards with microSD slot in Adafruit's product range. The name "Feather" is no coincidence: The boards are also characterized by being particularly compact and, above all, lightweight.
The range of top-class product highlights is wide: The STM32F405 Feather, for example, is the fastest CircuitPython board from Adafruit with an outstanding 168 MHz and meets the highest demands. It is equipped with a STEMMA QT / Qwiic port at the end, which makes it easy to connect to I2C sensors. The Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express, on the other hand, shines with Bluetooth Low Energy and can also be used with CircuitPython thanks to native USB support.
Another important part of Adafruit's portfolio are the FeatherWings. With these expansion modules, you can also include components such as a display or a motor driver in your IoT project. The FeatherWing Proto is a proven classic in Adafruit's portfolio. This is ideally suited as a prototyping add-on for all Feather boards. The Adafruit FeatherWing Wing Tripler Mini Kit, on the other hand, is ideal if you want to connect a Feather to two other FeatherWings at the same time.
With the Adafruit MIDI FeatherWing Kit you get a music capable FeatherWing, thanks to which you can equip your Feather with MIDI input and output jacks. And with the Adafruit FeatherWing OLED you can easily add a small OLED display to your Feather board - no soldering required.
Adafruit: What's behind the brand
As an expert in open-source hardware, Adafruit has long since established itself in the electronics industry. The company was founded in 2005 by Limor Fried. At the time, the talented and innovative electrical engineer was still a student at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). To this day, Fried is CEO of the electronics giant, which is now headquartered in New York. The company's name also goes back to its founder: Fried was once known on the World Wide Web by the nickname "Ladyada" - a tribute to the famous IT pioneer Ada Lovelace.
Adafruit says it is committed to getting more people excited about technology and science - and thanks to its first-class products, the hardware expert from the USA is sure to succeed!
