## Description

A 16×32 RGB LED matrix panel with 512 individually controllable LEDs at 6 mm pitch. Two IDC connectors on the back (input and output) allow panels to be daisy-chained for larger displays. Driven at a 1:8 scan rate using 12 digital pins and a 5V supply. These panels are designed for high-speed processors and do not include built-in PWM. On an Arduino Uno, you can achieve 12-bit colour (4096 colours) at about 20% CPU usage. For larger or smoother displays, use a 32-bit microcontroller with the Protomatter library. Specifications Resolution – 16×32 pixels (512 RGB LEDs) Pixel Pitch – 6 mm Scan Rate – 1:8 Data Interface – 12 digital pins (6 data + 6 control) via IDC connector Power – 5V DC, up to 2 A per panel Chainable – Output IDC connector for daisy-chaining panels Note: These panels are factory remainder stock. Appearance, LED tint, power cable style, and exact dimensions may vary between batches, though operation and code compatibility remain the same. Tip: You will need a 5V 2A power supply (sold separately) to drive this panel. Resources RGB LED Matrix Wiring & Tutorial
