Connect 16x32 matrices in parallel?

Post by danone »

Hi,
Sorry if this a too basic question. I have four 16x32 (420) led matrix panels and an Arduino Mega, and I would like to make a project where the same thing is displayed on the 4 panels. I've followed the guide and run the example codes on single panels without a problem, so I was thinking about connecting the panels in parallel. Would that work?
Thanks!

It looks like it should be possible. I'd try it with 2 first before expanding to 4.
