Matrix portal M4

Post by martinezandrewg »

I am trying to surprise my Wife with her business logo on a 64x32 led panel using the Matrix portal M4. However, i have no idea how, or if this is possible. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Moved this topic to a potentially more suitable forum.

What you're wanting to do is entirely possible. As long as the logo will look ok at 64x32 resolution.

There are also several approaches that could be taken. Are you more familiar / comfortable with a specific programming language? Like Arduino or CircuitPython?

Do you currently have all the hardware?

Try using the code from this guide:
https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-gif ... l/overview

That makes a sort of slide show viewer for animated gifs. You don't even need to write any code, you can use the ready-to-go UF2 from here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/animated-gif ... quickstart

And then create the logo as a 64x32 gif. Use photoshop, gimp, or something similar. It does not need to be animated. Have that be the only file located in the gifs folder and it will show up. So the "slideshow of animated gifs" ends up being of only one non-animated image. Which would be your logo.
