Here's a handy power cable for the RGB LED Matrix Panels we carry.
Easily plug into the back of your RGB matrix and insert or screw the power and ground cables onto either the Matrix Portal or the Matrix Bonnet, or whichever microcontroller-and-add-on you're using for your RGB Matrix project.
Works with any/all RGB LED Matrices that are 'HUB75' style. Not for use with NeoPixel or Dotstar matrices.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- HUB75
- HUB75 is a common connector and signalling standard used by many RGB LED matrix panels. If a controller supports HUB75, it can plug into compatible matrix panels without custom wiring, but you still need to match the panel size and power requirements.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
