Good morning everyone,
So I recently purchased a 16x32 LED Matrix Panel from ADAFruit and I'm running into some problems. When I run the code that's listed here (https://learn.adafruit.com/connecting-a ... pi/testing), nothing is showing up. I have followed the wiring instructions twice, I'm using a Raspbery Pi Model 3 B (also purchased from Adafruit).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: 16x32 RGB panel not working
I used the Raspberry Pi 3 GPIO Header chart on https://www.element14.com/community/doc ... omo-bullet - so I believe my wiring is right.

Re: 16x32 RGB panel not working
I have two of those 16x32 RGB panels.
The first one I bought last year and attached to the original Raspberry Pi. I used this Simon Monk tutorial:
https://learn.adafruit.com/connecting-a ... i/overview
Everything worked well and has continued to work well.
I bought a second Panel this year and the new RGB Matrix Hat on a Raspberry Pi 2. I used this lady ada tutorial:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-rgb ... i?view=all
I ran into problems (see my forum post on Mon Mar 28, 2016). The only way I could get it to work was to replace the Raspberry Pi 2 with a Raspberry Pi Zero.
Good luck and let us know if you find a solution.
