{"product_id":"64x32-flexible-rgb-led-matrix-4mm-pitch","title":"64x32 Flexible RGB LED Matrix - 4mm Pitch","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you've played with multiplexed RGB matrices, you may have wondered \"hey, could we possibly manufacture these on a thin enough PCB, so it's flexible?\" and the answer is \u003cstrong\u003eYes!\u003c\/strong\u003e his LED panel is just like rigid 64x32 style ones, but without the plastic supports. This matrix has a thin, bendable PCB backing that can be \u003cstrong\u003egently bent and curved\u003c\/strong\u003e around surfaces. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flexible PCBs are not designed for repeated flexing! While we think this product may work in wearables or architectural lighting, or other situations where the matrix is bent around, we do not offer any guarantees or refunds if you end up cracking the LEDs or traces! This is for advanced makers only, who are comfortable with the high current requirements and protecting the matrix from damage. There are no returns, refunds or replacements for damaged product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version is the \u003cstrong\u003e4mm pitch 64x32 Flexible RGB LED Matrix. Please note you cannot use an Arduino UNO to drive this size. It's way too big! \u003c\/strong\u003eUse an Arduino Mega, Raspberry Pi, BBB or other device that can handle displaying to RGB matrices and has plenty of RAM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis matrix has 2048 bright RGB LEDs arranged in a 64x32 grid on the front. On the back there are two IDC connectors (one input, one output: in theory you can chain these together) and 12 16-bit latches that allow you to drive the display with a 1:16 scan rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese displays are technically 'chainable' - connect one output to the next input - but our Arduino example code does not support this (yet). You're best off using a Raspberry Pi or other fast computer that can drive RGB matrices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese panels require 13 digital pins (6 bit data, 7 bit control) and a good 5V supply, up to 4A per panel. We suggest our 4A regulated 5V adapter and then connecting a 2.1mm jack. Please check out our tutorial for more details!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComes with:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA single 64x32 RGB panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn IDC cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA plug in power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep in mind that these displays are designed to be driven by FPGAs or other high speed processors: they do not have built in PWM control of any kind. Instead, you're supposed to redraw the screen over and over to 'manually' PWM the whole thing. On a 16 MHz Arduino Mega, we managed to squeeze 12-bit color (4096 colors) with 40% CPU usage but this display would really shine if driven by any FPGA, CPLD, Propeller, XMOS or other high speed multi-core controller. The good news is that the display is pre-white balanced with nice uniformity so if you turn on all the LEDs it's not a particularly tinted white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf course, we wouldn't leave you with a datasheet and a \"good luck!\" We have a full wiring diagrams and working Arduino library code with examples from drawing pixels, lines, rectangles, circles and text. You'll get your color blasting within the hour! On an Arduino, you'll need 16 digital pins, and about 3200 bytes of RAM to buffer the 12-bit color image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe back color of the matrix may vary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with M3 mounting screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere may be reworked pixels with flux.
