## Description

A 32×32 full-colour RGB LED matrix panel with 1024 LEDs at 5mm pitch. Designed for indoor use with a wide 160° viewing angle and pre-balanced white output, these panels look great in ambient light. The slightly larger pitch than 4mm panels makes them well-suited for displays viewed at moderate distances. The panel uses a 1:16 scan rate with 12 × 16-bit latches. It requires 13 digital pins (6 data + 7 control) and continuous redrawing to achieve PWM colour — on a 16 MHz Arduino, 12-bit colour (4096 colours) is achievable at ~40% CPU usage. Higher-performance controllers (FPGA, Raspberry Pi, Propeller) can drive these panels to their full potential. Panels are chainable via IDC connectors. Key Features 1024 RGB LEDs – 32×32 pixel resolution at 5mm pitch 12-Bit Colour on Arduino – 4096 colours with example library code Chainable – IDC input/output connectors for cascading panels Pre-White Balanced – Good colour uniformity across the panel Wide Viewing Angle – 160° Specifications Resolution – 32 × 32 pixels (1024 total) Pixel Pitch – 5mm Scan Rate – 1:16 Operating Voltage – 5V DC Current Draw – Up to 4A per panel Digital Pins Required – 13 (6 data + 7 control) RAM Required (Arduino) – ~1600 bytes for 12-bit colour buffer Ideal For LED video walls and signage projects Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and FPGA display projects Animations, graphics, and text displays Package Contents 1× 32×32 RGB LED Matrix Panel (5mm pitch) 1× IDC cable 1× Power cable 4× Mounting screws with mini-magnets Note: Requires a 5V 4A power supply (not included). These panels are factory remainder stock — appearance may vary slightly between batches while operation remains the same. Resources Wiring Diagrams and Arduino Library Tutorial (Adafruit Learn)
