Summary
The RGB-Matrix-P2.5-64x32 is a full-color LED matrix display with 64×32 pixels and a 2.5 mm pitch. It contains 2048 individual RGB LEDs (1R1G1B) and is driven via HUB75 headers. The display is a bare board without integrated controller electronics and requires an external controller such as Raspberry Pi, Pico, ESP32 or Arduino.

Commands and examples – verify before use:
git clone https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/
make -C examples-api-use
sudo ./demo -D0 --led-no-hardware-pulse --led-cols=64 --led-rows=32
sudo ./c-example -D0 --led-no-hardware-pulse --led-cols=64 --led-rows=32
sudo ./minimal-example -D0 --led-no-hardware-pulse --led-cols=64 --led-rows=32

sudo ./pixel-mover --led-no-hardware-pulse --led-cols=64 --led-rows=32
sudo ./clock -f ../fonts/7x13.bdf --led-cols=64 --led-rows=32 -d "%A" -d "%H:%M:%S" --led-no-hardware-pulse
Notes and version constraints
- The power supply must be exactly 5 V; other voltages can damage the display.
- Different PCB batches may have minor differences in silkscreen and layout; software remains compatible, but the actual delivery takes precedence.
- When connecting multiple panels to one Raspberry Pi, enable and data pins must be wired accordingly depending on panel count; for a single panel only the pins marked with 😄 are needed.
- Demo commands assume the rpi-rgb-led-matrix open-source project is installed; version differences in the project may cause incompatibilities.
- Using isolcpus=3 in /boot/cmdline.txt is recommended to improve display refresh rate; this requires a reboot and should be verified before use.
- For the Pico variant, the CircuitPython firmware must first be flashed via BOOTSEL + USB; without this step no demo will run.
- When using the STM32, an external 5 V / 4 A power supply is required, otherwise IO malfunctions may occur.
- Supported font sizes are currently limited to 16×16, 32×32 and 64×64; larger renderings are not guaranteed.
