{"title":"Adafruit Matrix Portal - CircuitPython Powered Internet Display","handle":"adafruit-matrix-portal-circuitpython-powered-internet-display","url":"/products/adafruit-matrix-portal-circuitpython-powered-internet-display","description":"The Adafruit Matrix Portal is a plug-and-play controller for HUB-75 RGB LED matrix panels. Powered by an ATSAMD51 (Cortex M4) with an ESP32 WiFi coprocessor, it plugs directly into the back of any compatible matrix — no soldering or wiring required. Just attach power and start coding in CircuitPython or Arduino.\n\nThe dual-processor design lets the SAMD51 handle high-speed RGB matrix updates and native USB, while the ESP32 manages WiFi with TLS/SSL encryption. This makes it ideal for internet-connected LED displays showing live data, animations, and interactive content.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nATSAMD51J19 Processor – Cortex M4 with 512 KB flash, 192 KB SRAM, native USB, and DAC/ADC/PWM\n\nESP32 WiFi Coprocessor – Secure WiFi with TLS/SSL support via SPI\n\nDirect HUB-75 Connection – 2×10 socket plugs directly into matrix panels (16×32 up to 64×64)\n\nUSB-C – Power and data; native USB for drag-and-drop programming\n\nLIS3DH Accelerometer – For digital sand projects, orientation detection, and tap sensing\n\nSTEMMA QT Port – Plug-and-play I2C for sensors and peripherals\n\nJST 3-Pin Connector – Analogue input/output for audio playback or additional hardware\n\nGPIO Breakouts – 4 analogue outputs with PWM and SPI support\n\nTwo User Buttons – Plus reset button, NeoPixel indicator, and power LEDs\n\nAddress E Jumper – For use with 64×64 matrices\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nInternet-connected LED signs and information displays\nLive data dashboards (weather, stocks, social media, transit)\nPixel art displays and LED animations\nInteractive installations with motion and tap detection\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit Matrix Portal (pre-programmed with rainbow digital sand demo for 32×64 matrices)\nMounting screws for power cable attachment\n\n\n\nNote: RGB LED matrix panel, USB-C power supply, and 5 V power adapter (for larger matrices) are sold separately. Compatible with any HUB-75 matrix from 16×32 to 64×64.\n\n\nResources\n\nRGB LED Matrices with CircuitPython Guide\nProtomatter RGB Matrix Arduino Library Guide\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":3655,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-4745","price":48.68,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":97,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
