The 64×32 RGB LED Matrix Panel with 5mm pitch features 2048 bright RGB LEDs in a 320×160mm panel. The wider pixel spacing makes this panel ideal for viewing from further away, producing clear images and text at distances of several metres.
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
- 5mm Pixel Pitch – Wider spacing optimised for viewing from several metres away

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.
