The 64×32 RGB LED Matrix Panel with 2.5mm pitch packs 2048 bright RGB LEDs into a compact 160×80mm panel. With the tightest pixel spacing in the 64×32 range, this panel produces sharp, detailed images ideal for close-up indoor viewing.
The panel features two IDC connectors on the back (input and output) for daisy-chaining multiple panels into larger displays. It uses a 1:16 scan rate driven by 12 onboard 16-bit latches. These panels require a high-speed microcontroller with plenty of RAM — an Arduino Uno cannot drive this panel. Use a Raspberry Pi, Arduino Mega, or FPGA-based controller for best results.
Key Features
- 2.5mm Pixel Pitch – Tightest spacing for sharp detail at close viewing distances

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- RAM
- RAM is temporary memory used while a device is running, and its contents are lost when power is removed. A “Run in RAM” mode is useful for testing settings without permanently programming the module, but it may not support every feature.
- 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.
