But what if we made it \u003cem\u003eeven easier\u003c\/em\u003e than that? \u003cstrong\u003eLike, no solder, no wiring, just instant plug-and-play? \u003c\/strong\u003eDream no more - with the \u003cstrong\u003eAdafruit Matrix Portal add-on for RGB Matricies\u003c\/strong\u003e, there's never been an easier way to create powerful Internet-connected LED displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug directly into the back of wide selection of RGB matrices! Use the included screws to attach the power cable to the power plugs with a common screwdriver, then power it with any USB C power supply. (For larger projects, power the matrices with a separate 5V power adapter)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen code up your project in CircuitPython or Arduino, our Protomatter matrix library works great on the SAMD51 chipset, knowing that you've got the wiring and level shifting all handled.

The M4 and ESP32 are a great couple - and each bring their own strengths to this board. The SAMD51 M4 has native USB so it can show up like a disk drive, act as a MIDI or HID keyboard\/mouse, and of course bootload and debug over a serial port. It also has DACs, ADC, PWM, and tons of GPIO, so it can handle the high speed updating of the RGB matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, the ESP32 has secure WiFi capabilities, and plenty of Flash and RAM to buffer sockets. By letting the ESP32 focus on the complex TLS\/SSL computation and socket buffering, it frees up the SAMD51 to act as the user interface. You get a great programming experience thanks to the native USB with files available for drag-n-drop, and you don't have to spend a ton of processor time and memory to do SSL encryption\/decryption and certificate management. It's the best of both worlds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with one fully-programmed and assembled MatrixPortal, preprogrammed with a rainbow digital sand demo for 32x64 LED matrices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes not come with an RGB Matrix (use any HUB75 compatible matrix) or a USB type C power supply!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\" id=\"tab-technical-details-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 63.3mm x 44.5mm x 16.0mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 17.0g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43493254758477,"sku":"vih1787258190509","price":16.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1182\/8301\/files\/adafruit-matrix-portal---circuitpython-powered-internet-display_1.jpg?v=1787258194","url":"https:\/\/www.grandorchard.shop\/products\/adafruit-matrix-portal-circuitpython-powered-internet-display","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
