## 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. The 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. Key Features ATSAMD51J19 Processor – Cortex M4 with 512 KB flash, 192 KB SRAM, native USB, and DAC/ADC/PWM ESP32 WiFi Coprocessor – Secure WiFi with TLS/SSL support via SPI Direct HUB-75 Connection – 2×10 socket plugs directly into matrix panels (16×32 up to 64×64) USB-C – Power and data; native USB for drag-and-drop programming LIS3DH Accelerometer – For digital sand projects, orientation detection, and tap sensing STEMMA QT Port – Plug-and-play I2C for sensors and peripherals JST 3-Pin Connector – Analogue input/output for audio playback or additional hardware GPIO Breakouts – 4 analogue outputs with PWM and SPI support Two User Buttons – Plus reset button, NeoPixel indicator, and power LEDs Address E Jumper – For use with 64×64 matrices Ideal For Internet-connected LED signs and information displays Live data dashboards (weather, stocks, social media, transit) Pixel art displays and LED animations Interactive installations with motion and tap detection Package Contents 1× Adafruit Matrix Portal (pre-programmed with rainbow digital sand demo for 32×64 matrices) Mounting screws for power cable attachment Note: 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. Resources RGB LED Matrices with CircuitPython Guide Protomatter RGB Matrix Arduino Library Guide
