PCB adapter for Raspberry Pi to Hub75 RGB Matrixes
|
||
|
==================================================
|
||
|
|
||
|
Since hand-wiring can be a little tedious, here are some PCBs that help
|
||
|
with the wiring when using the `rpi-rgb-led-matrix` code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [Passive-3](./passive-3) Supports three parallel chains, directly connected
|
||
|
to the output of a Rapsberry Pi with 40 GPIO pins. Works, but usually it is better to
|
||
|
buffer the outputs using the ...
|
||
|
* [Active-3](./active-3) board. Supports three parallel chains with active buffering
|
||
|
and 3.3V -> 5V level shifting for best reliability. Requires SMD soldering.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As another option you can buy it from these locations not affiliated with this project.
|
||
|
They are given to help you locate premade boards but no guarantees are given or implied:
|
||
|
* https://www.electrodragon.com/product/rgb-matrix-panel-drive-board-raspberry-pi/
|
||
|
($3/board, but fairly long and/or expensive shipping from HKG)
|
||
|
* Seller #2 (fill me)
|
||
|
* The [Passive-RPi1](./passive-rpi1) adapter board is to connect one panel to
|
||
|
Raspberry Pi 1 with 26 GPIO pins.
