Adafruit Matrix Portal - Easy to upload own gfx?

Post by gizmo1990 »

Hey there!

I'm interested in building a little matrix which I can display animated graphics on. Would the Adafruit Matrix Portal Starter Kit be a good place to get into this kind of thing? For a beginner? For instance, does it include sample programs which I can edit to make my own graphics appear? Or is programming knowledge essential?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Take a look at this project:

Is that sort of what you're thinking?
