Product Details
Winter in the city can be tough. The sky is gray and the weather is unpredictable. Cheer up with the dazzling charm of Times Square using this sweet, ultra-high-density 64x64 RGB LED Matrix with Curb-Cut sides. These panels are often used for video walls. In New York, you can see them on buses and taxis, showing animations or video ads. They look really cool, so we got a few boxes from a factory. With 4,096 bright RGB LEDs arranged in a 64x64 grid at a 2.5mm pitch, they're quite impressive. These matrix panels have a great feature: 45-degree curb-cut corners, ideal for building your own LED video cubes or rectangles. You'll need a mechanical substrate to attach them, but they fit together nicely. Warning! These 64-pixel tall matrices use a non-standard 5-address multiplexing system. Many add-ons or drivers with a 4-address (ABCD) setup may not support 5-address (ABCDE). You can use these matrices with our RGB Matrix Bonnet for Raspberry Pi, RGB Matrix HAT (a solder jumper is needed), or Matrix Portal (jumper required). Other libraries like our Arduino shield with Adafruit library or HDMI driver boards don't support 5-address multiplexing. Check your driver board's compatibility before buying. The SmartLED Shield with Teensy 3.5/3.6 can drive these 5-address panels and has enough RAM to refresh 4,096 pixels, but you need to manually solder/adapt the power plug as the shield overlaps it. The full kit includes a 64x64 RGB panel, an IDC ribbon cable, and a power cable. There might be minor differences between products based on the supplier, but the overall shape, use, and functionality are the same.
Using this 64x64 RGB LED Matrix Panel is a breeze. First, you'll need to get a mechanical substrate to attach the panel to. Then, connect the IDC ribbon cable and power cable. When choosing a driver board, make sure it supports the 5-address multiplexing system used by this panel. You can use it with our RGB Matrix Bonnet for Raspberry Pi, RGB Matrix HAT, or Matrix Portal, but remember to connect the solder jumper. Other libraries may not work. For the SmartLED Shield with Teensy 3.5/3.6, you'll need to manually solder or adapt the power plug. As for maintenance, keep the panel clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If there are any issues, check the connections first. And don't worry about minor differences between products; the overall performance remains consistent.
