Hi,
I am currently planning to build an 80x64 LED matrix using 4 32x32 and 2 16x32 medium RGB LED matrices controlled by a raspberry pi (since my arduino uno is probably not fast enough/does not have enough ram)
I read that they are chainable and now I was wondering about what the limit for chaining them together would be (for my project it would be 6 matrices in a row)
Furthermore I was wondering about any tips on how to power them. Do I need a completely separate power supply for all of them?
(I am kind of new to working with hardware :) )
Thanks in advance :)

Re: LED Matrix chaining limit
We have a tutorial on chaining 3 of them together. I'm not sure what the limit is. You can install the software an experiment with configurations without actually having any matrices attached.
