16x24 red LED matrix not lighting

Post by taowa »

A 16x24 red LED matrix I purchased from an Adafruit distributor won't light. I've tried connecting it directly to my Arduino with jumper wires instead of the cable and it still won't light. I noticed that there's a ton of styrofoam on the back of the board, and I've tested that the board does, in fact, supply the right amount of power.

May be way too late here - but if you still have this and can, post photos showing the board and how you have it connected.

Weird. Who was the distributor you purchased this from?
