A 32×16 full-colour RGB LED matrix panel with 512 individually addressable pixels at 6mm pitch. Each LED can display any colour, making this panel suitable for text, animations, and graphics. The high-brightness LEDs and wide 160° viewing angle work well for both indoor and outdoor installations.
The panel features IDC input and output connectors for cascading multiple panels into larger displays. Requires at least 13 digital GPIO pins to drive. For four or more panels, a higher-performance controller such as an Arduino Mega 2560 or Raspberry Pi is recommended.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
