Features

Full-Color RGB Matrix: 64 individually addressable SK6812/WS2812 LEDs (5V) supporting 16.7 million colors (256³ brightness levels per RGB channel) and ≥400Hz refresh rate for fluid animations

Plug-and-Play Gravity Interface: Pre-soldered XH2.54 3-pin connector (DIN/5V/GND) ensures direct compatibility with Arduino I/O shields—no soldering required

Cascading Control: Chain multiple matrices via DIN→DOUT daisy-chaining; control entire arrays with one microcontroller pin

Robust Design: Flexible PCB withstands bending; operates in -25°C to +80°C environments. Dimensions: 80×80mm (3.15×3.15"), weight: 130g

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.
