Hi,
I would like to connect my Matrix Portal M4 to an 64x64 RGB LED matrix but the image doesn't load correctly due to the difference between the 20 pins on the Matrix Portal and 16 pins on the RGB LED matrix. Do I need a Breadboard with wire to do that ?
Thanks.

It should fit perfectly. The outside pairs of pins aren't used by the MatrixPortal, it's a 10x2 connector so that it fits the socket on the matrix without having to worry about getting it lined up correctly.

Nope even if i sold the jumper on the board it doesn't work correctly.
And I have to sold the 16 jumper and not the 8 as explain in the guide...
the 8 jumper solder make glitch/freeze the image, and not the 16...
So with the 16 jumper solder it's better but the image is still cut.

Can we have a clear closeup of the 8/16 jimper area.
Also, try the 64x64 test code: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-mat ... /downloads.

Re: matrix portal 20 pin instead 16 pin expected
Thanks for your help Dave.
Here is a better view of the jumper area. (I can't get any closer my camera is blurry)
I've moved the jumper solder to the 16 jumper and E jumper.

Re: matrix portal 20 pin instead 16 pin expected
What matrix do you have? And does it require E on 8 or 16? Let's get that correct first.
