Having issues with my RGB matrix bonnet

Post by Coffee_groundz »

Hello. I have recently bought a Matrix Bonnet from Adafruit which is plugged into a 64x32 matrix (also from Adafruit) and am having issues running the demos (see attached picture). Every fourth row will not light up and there are red bars in the top half of the matrix. I did not have this problem with the Matrix Hat + RTC which I owned previously but unfortunately broke which is why I bought the bonnet. I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. Could it be possible I have a broken bonnet? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: Tried again with a Pi Zero and it worked perfectly. Must be an issue with my 3B :(
