## Description

The Adafruit Matrix Portal S3 is the next-generation plug-and-play controller for HUB-75 RGB LED matrix panels. Powered by the ESP32-S3 with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth LE, 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 ESP32-S3's dual cores and dedicated parallel output peripheral handle matrix driving without bitbanging, leaving plenty of processing power for WiFi networking and your application code. With 8 MB of flash and 2 MB of PSRAM, there's room for GIFs, IoT data parsing, and large display buffers. Key Features ESP32-S3 Processor – Dual-core with 8 MB flash, 2 MB PSRAM, WiFi, and Bluetooth LE Direct HUB-75 Connection – 2×10 socket plugs into matrix panels (16×32 up to 64×64), plus 2×8 IDC connector for standard cables Native USB-C – Power, data, and native USB for HID, MIDI, and 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 for quick connections GPIO Breakout Strip – 6 GPIO including 4 analogue inputs with PWM, SPI, or I2S support Two User Buttons – Plus reset button, NeoPixel indicator, and power LEDs Address E Jumper – For use with 64×64 matrices (defaults to pin 8) Chain and Panelise – Support for long chains or grid configurations of multiple panels Ideal For Internet-connected LED signs and information displays Live data dashboards (weather, stocks, social media, transit) Animated GIF displays and pixel art Large multi-panel LED installations Package Contents 1× Adafruit Matrix Portal S3 (pre-programmed with basic display 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. The ESP32-S3 does not have a DAC output — use an I2S amplifier for audio projects.
