You can easily program the board using the Arduino IDE. As you can see from the video below, it’s possible to create great color animations, completely in Arduino programming!<\/p>\n

To program the board, you’ll need a USB-Serial adapter or cable to connect to the board’s 6-pin serial connector and a USB to serial cable or adapter like the FTDI Friend<\/a>. Or you can program the ATMega328 chip using your Arduino board and move the chip to the RGB Matrix Backpack for testing.<\/p>\n

The board snaps onto the back of the panel and provides power to the panel through the terminal block connections. The board should be powered by a 5V regulated power adapter that can deliver up to 2A. A suitable power adapter is available in our store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fully assembled and tested. Adafruit RGB Matrix Panel required and NOT included. Power adapter NOT included.<\/p>\n
