Power & Connectivity
•Included Accessories:
•Matrix Gravity Interface Cable (3-pin XH2.54 to Dupont)
•DC Barrel Jack Adapter (Female) for external 5V power injection
•Power Advisory: For multi-matrix setups, use external 5V power via the Gravity expansion board’s servo port to prevent microcontroller overload
Software & Compatibility
•Arduino Libraries: Fully compatible with FastLED, Adafruit NeoPixel, and WS2812FX libraries for animations
•Logic-Level Note: When using 3.3V microcontrollers (e.g., ESP32), add a logic level converter to ensure signal integrity
Applications
•Dynamic Displays: Scrolling text, interactive art, and ambient lighting
•Modular Scaling: Combine panels for larger installations (e.g., 16×16, 32×8)
•Educational Projects: Ideal for prototyping IoT visual feedback systems or DIY gaming interfaces.
