RGB Matrix Bonnet

This HAT plugs into your Pi and makes it super easy to control RGB matrices, such as those you see in the likes of Times square, enabling you to create a colourful scrolling display or mini LED wall.

• A 5V power supply is also required for powering the matrix itself.
• To calculate the max current of your matrix set up, multiply the width of all the chained matrix by 0.12 : A 32 pixel wide matrix needs 32*0.12 = 3.85A so pick up a 5V 4A power supply.
• This HAT is only for use with HUB75 type RGB Matrices. Not for use with NeoPixel, DotStar, or other 'addressable' LEDs.

Features:

• Simple design - plug in power, plug in IDC cable, code.
• Power protection circuitry - you can plug a 5V 4A wall adapter into the HAT and it will automatically protect against negative, over or under-voltages.
• On-board level shifters - these convert the Raspberry Pi's 3.3V to 5.0V logic for clean and glitch free matrix driving

This bonnet is compatible with any Pi that has a 2x20 header.
