Hi. I was looking at trying to chain together those RGB matrices.
I'm hoping to chain together 2 or maybe even 3 of those 32 by 64 LED matrix units. I initially looked at Arduino but I believe they do not have enough power of possibly not enough RAM.
Would the Metro M4 be a suitable choice to achieve my aim of displaying constantly updating data?
I am happy using the Arduino IDE and see that the Metro M4 is compatible with the Arduino IDE. Does this mean that I would program the Metro M4 in the same way using the Arduino sketch program?
thank you for your time
Kevin

Kevin,
Any reason you would not use a MatrixPortal M4 to chain multiple matrices? This guide has some specific configurations and the controller is designed specifically for this purpose.
