Gravity Flexible 16x16 RGB LED Matrix SKU DFR0463

Introduction

Good news everyone! We have a new member to the Gravity family - The Flexible 16x16 RGB LED Matrix! This module is a square panel with a soldered XH2.54 3-pin interface with pin mappings that perfectly match the Arduino I/O expansion shield. This flexible 16x16 RGB full-color LED matrix module is based on SK6812 or WS2812 intelligent control LEDs. Each LED can be independently addressed with RGB pixels that can achieve 256 levels of brightness. That’s 16777216 colors in total with a scanning frequency no less than 400Hz! The 16x16 RGB LED Matrix is single wire control board. We have customized a special cable to make it compatible with Arduino I/O expansion shields without any soldering. The module also supports cascading control. All you need to do is connect Din to the DOUT port. In combination with the open source Arduino library, you can control an entire array of LEDs using just one pin!

Note Each LED requires a maximum current of 18mA. The highest current arrives 2A. it is recommended to use the DFRobot Gravity IO expansion board to power multiple LEDs matrix via the Servo Power Port..

Sample Code

In this section, we'll use Adafruit_NeoPixel RGB LED Lbrary. How to install Libraries in Arduino IDE
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> #ifdef __AVR__
#include <avr/power.h> #endif
#define PIN 6
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = Arduino pin number most are valid
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz classic 'v1' not v2 FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers
// NEO_GRB

Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream most NeoPixel products
// NEO_RGB

Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream v1 FLORA pixels, not v2
// NEO_RGBW Pixels are wired for RGBW bitstream NeoPixel RGBW products

Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel 256, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800 ;
// IMPORTANT To reduce NeoPixel burnout risk, add 1000 uF capacitor across // pixel power leads, add 300 - 500 Ohm resistor on first pixel's data input // and minimize distance between Arduino and first pixel. Avoid connecting // on a live circuit...if you must, connect GND first.
void setup // This is for Trinket 5V 16MHz, you can remove these three lines if you ar
e not using a Trinket #if defined __AVR_ATtiny85__ if F_CPU == clock_prescale_set clock_div_1 #endif // End of trinket special code
strip.begin strip.show // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
void loop // Some example procedures showing how to display to the pixels //colorWipe strip.Color 255, 0, 0 , 50 // Red
// colorWipe strip.Color 0, 255, 0 , 50 // Green //colorWipe strip.Color 0, 0, 255 , 50 // Blue
