## Description

The Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet makes it easy to drive HUB75-type RGB LED matrices directly from your Raspberry Pi. Simply plug the bonnet onto any Pi with a 40-pin GPIO header, connect your matrix via the IDC cable, attach a 5 V power supply, and run the provided Python code to create colourful scrolling displays and mini LED walls. The bonnet comes fully assembled with built-in level shifters (3.3 V to 5.0 V) and power protection circuitry, so there's no soldering required and no risk of accidental damage from incorrect power connections. Key Features Fully Assembled – No soldering required; plugs directly onto the Pi's 2×20 GPIO header Power Protection – Built-in circuitry guards against negative, over, or under-voltage from the 5 V supply Onboard Level Shifters – Converts the Pi's 3.3 V logic to 5.0 V for clean, glitch-free matrix driving HUB75 Compatible – Works with 16×32, 32×32, 32×64, and (with a small solder jumper) 64×64 RGB LED matrices Chainable Displays – Connect multiple matrices together for longer displays (tested up to 32×128) Compatibility Supported Pi Models – Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W/WH, Model A+, B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, and Pi 4 (any 40-pin GPIO header model) Not Compatible – Older 26-pin models (original Model A or B) Matrix Type – HUB75 RGB matrices only (not for NeoPixel, DotStar, or other addressable LEDs) Note: RGB LED matrix, 5 V power supply, and Raspberry Pi are sold separately. To calculate power requirements, multiply the total pixel width of all chained matrices by 0.12 A (e.g. a 32-pixel-wide matrix may draw up to ~3.85 A, so a 5 V 4 A supply is recommended). Ideal For Scrolling text displays and signage Mini LED video walls and art installations Information dashboards and status boards Event and retail display projects Package Contents 1× Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet for Raspberry Pi (fully assembled) Resources Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet Guide
