I’ve been wanting to get into playing with LED matrices since seeing a great show by United Visual Artists in London which made a lot of use of them for really cool minimal visual effects.
My research suggests the best way to get started is with a HUB75 LED matrix (you can buy 32x32 or 64x64) and a MatrixPortal S3 board, which is an Arduino type thing with all the relevant connectors etc. for the LED board already installed. You can also buy and solder the relevant connections to an existing board, but I wanted something as easy as possible out of the box (even easier would be the Pimoroni Cosmic Unicorn, which contains it all in one pre built enclosure)
