projects, power the matrices with a separate 5V power adapter)
Then code up your project in CircuitPython (https://adafru.it/L7b) or Arduino (https://adafru.it/MNa), the
Adafruit Protomatter matrix library works great on the SAMD51 chipset, knowing that you've got the wiring
and level shifting all handled. Here's what you get:
ATSAMD51J19 Cortex M4 processor, 512KB flash, 192K of SRAM, with full Arduino or CircuitPython
support
ESP32 WiFi co-processor with TLS support and SPI interface to the M4, with full Arduino or
CircuitPython support
USB Type C connector for data and power connectivity
I2C STEMMA QT connector for plug-n-play use of any of our STEMMA QT devices or
sensors (https://adafru.it/NmD) can also be used with any Grove I2C devices using this adapter
cable (https://adafru.it/Ndk)
JST 3-pin connector that also has analog input/output, say for adding audio playback to
projects (https://adafru.it/Gpf)
LIS3DH accelerometer for digital sand projects or detecting taps/orientation.
GPIO breakouts including 4 analog outputs with PWM and SPI support for adding other hardware.
Address E line jumper for use with 64x64 matrices (check your matrix to see which pin is used for
address E!
Two user interface buttons + one reset button
Indicator NeoPixel and red LED
Green power indicator LEDs for both 3V and 5V power
2x10 socket connector fits snugly into 2x8 HUB75 ports without worrying about 'off by one' errors.
