Hello, I'm a relative newbie, just getting started with Adafruit and learning Arduino.
I purchased the Adafruit Matrix Portal for use with a 64x32 RGB LED Matrix display:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/4745
My question is, the Matrix Portal comes with a ESP32 WiFi module. Is there an Adafruit tutorial on
- how to set up the ESP32 with the Arduino IDE?
- how to set up the ESP32 with Wi-Fi connection details (SSID, password)
Ultimately I want to figure out how to interface with IFTTT webhooks for the LED Matrix to display the status of variouis IoT gadgets. But I'm having trouble figuring out which libraries, boards to configure in Arduino IDE given the specific module used in the Matrix Portal product above.

Have a look at https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-met ... /wifi-test. The MatrixPortal is a lot like the Metro M4 Express Airlift tailored for driving an LED matrix.

Re: how to set up ESP32
Thank you. I cheesed it by using the MatrixPortal library but it was easier than I had thought. I entered my Wi-Fi SSID and password into the secrets.py file.
Then in my code:
Thanks for the reply!
Then in my code:
Code: Select all
# Import necessary libraries
from adafruit_matrixportal.matrixportal import MatrixPortal
from adafruit_matrixportal.network import Network
import adafruit_minimqtt.adafruit_minimqtt as MQTT
import adafruit_esp32spi.adafruit_esp32spi_socket as socket
# --- Wi-Fi setup ---
network = matrixportal.network
network.connect()
