Hey, I'm pretty new with raspberry pi's and connecting them to LED screens.
I'm trying to create this: https://github.com/riffnshred/nhl-led-scoreboard
I have everything set up on the raspberry pi and everything appears to be working except every other 2 rows are blank whenever I run the scoreboard.
Here are the products I'm using:
64x32 RGB LED Matrix - 5mm pitch
Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet for Raspberry Pi
Element14 Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Motherboard
Here are some pics of my set up and what is currently going wrong
Someone said that maybe I have a bad Matrix Bonnet? Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix this? Am I really going to have to buy another Matrix Bonnet even though that might not be the issue?
64x32 RGB LED Matrix - 5mm pitch every other 2 rows blank

This looks like a software configuration issue.
Let's backup to the Adafruit guide.
Are you using a 4A power supply?
Is sound disabled?
Did you successfully run the demo?
