{"title":"Adafruit Triple LED Matrix Bonnet for Raspberry Pi HUB75","handle":"adafruit-triple-led-matrix-bonnet-for-raspberry-pi-for-hub75","url":"/products/adafruit-triple-led-matrix-bonnet-for-raspberry-pi-for-hub75","description":"Build large, colourful HUB75 RGB LED matrix displays from a Raspberry Pi without the usual jumper-wire tangle. This Adafruit Bonnet plugs onto the 40-pin GPIO header and drives three parallel matrix strings using the active3 pinout, so it can handle roughly three times as many panels or pixels as the single-panel Matrix Bonnet.Because this version is focused on driving multiple panels, power for the LED matrices is supplied separately rather than managed on the Bonnet. Adafruit recommends a serious 5V 10A+ supply for the matrices; the Raspberry Pi cannot power the display panels directly. RGB matrices, Raspberry Pi, and power supply are not included.It works with Raspberry Pi boards that have a 40-pin GPIO header, including Zero, Zero W/WH, Model A+, B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi 5. Older 26-pin Model A or B boards are not supported. For best performance, a Pi 4 or Pi 5 is recommended; Pi Zero users may need to solder a header onto the Pi first.For Pi 0, 2, 3, and 4, Adafruit recommends the rpi-rgb-matrix driver with C and Python bindings using the standard/active3 pinout. For Pi 5 and later, use Adafruit’s PIO-based matrix driver, which supports up to 3 panels and includes demo code for the triple bonnet.Features:Simple design: Plug in IDC cables, provide separate power to each panel, and run Adafruit’s Python code.Level shifting: Onboard level shifters convert the Raspberry Pi’s 3.3V logic to 5.0V logic for clean, glitch-free matrix driving.Fully assembled: Compact design with no soldering required on the Bonnet.Raspberry Pi connector: Plugs onto any Raspberry Pi with a 2x20 connector.Matrix compatibility: Works with Adafruit 16x32, 32x32, 32x64, or 64x64 RGB LED matrices with HUB75 connections.64x64 support: Select whether the Address E pin is on the 4th or 8th IDC pad using an onboard switch.Chainable displays: Chain multiple matrices together for a longer display.This Bonnet is only for HUB75-type RGB matrices and is not suitable for NeoPixel, DotStar, or other addressable LEDs. A slim 2x20 header is fitted by default; use a 2x20 riser header to lift it above an enclosure, or a 2x20 stacking header if you need GPIO access while it is installed.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"Raspberry Pi Bonnet","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15845,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-6358","mpn":"ADA6358","price":24.45,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":16}]}
