[64x32]x2 = 128x32 RGB LED matrix

Post by BotatoChibs »

Hello,

I would like to make an outdoors LED matrix display by chaining together two 64X32 like these:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/2276

The display is meant to...ahem...display.... non-Latin alphabet characters, so I will have to make an interface to enter the character from a phone via either bluetooth or wifi. The characters might have to scroll horizontally too, I'm not sure yet.

No intricate animations or graphics are needed, the color need to be customizable, but doesn't have to be dynamically changing.

Can anyone recommend what other components are needed for this kind of project? Probably too much for an Arduino? Will RaspberryPi work?

I have very basic programming skills (some python from school) but one of the bases for this project is to learn, so if someone has a useful research for making
a library for new characters I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Chaining panels moves you into advanced RGB panel work.

You might consider using a MatrixPortal setup which the above guide covers or more specifically here:
