Description

Product information "5x5 RGB matrix breakout"

This super-cute 5x5 RGB LED matrix breakout is a nice way to visualise sensor data or for simple animations or notifications, and it's Raspberry Pi and Arduino compatible.

These little matrices are ideal for visualising data from other Pimoroni breakouts in a breakout garden HAT, such as displaying environmental data from our BMP280 or BME680 breakouts. Or why not use two together as headlights or brake lights for your Pi powered vehicle?

Like our other breakouts, this one simply plugs onto the pins of the Pi after you've soldered on the included angled female header, and we've included a trace that can be cut to change the I2C address from 0x74 to 0x77 if you want to use two matrices at once!

It's compatible with our fancy breakout garden HAT, where using breakouts is as easy as plugging it into one of the six slots, creating projects and coding.

Features
  • 5x5 (25 in total) RGB LEDs
  • Utilises the IS31FL3731 driver chip
  • 15x15mm active area
  • 3.5mm LED pitch
  • I2C interface (address 0x74/0x77 (interface track))
  • 3.3V or 5V compatible
  • Reverse polarity protection
  • Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi and Arduino
  • Python library
Kit contains
  • 5x5 RGB matrix breakout
  • 1x5 pin header
  • 1x5 female right angle header
We have designed this breakout board so that you can solder the piece of right-angled header and plug it directly into the bottom left 5 pins of the GPIO header on your Raspberry Pi (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9).

Software

We've put together a Python library to make driving the 5x5 RGB matrix breakout really easy, along with a handful of examples to show what it can do.

Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.

Optimize your Raspberry Pi - with Pimoroni

Pimoni is the expert when it comes to equipping your Raspberry Pi with high-quality add-on modules. The successful company was founded in 2012 in Sheffield, England, and now also has a branch in Essen, Germany. According to the University of Sheffield, Pimoroni is even considered one of the fastest growing manufacturing companies in the UK.

The electronics specialist has the right solution for almost every need around the Raspberry Pi. The product range also includes the Pimoroni Fan Shim, a powerful 30mm CPU fan for the Raspberry Pi, which is one of the top sellers from Pimoroni. The Fan Shim manages a powerful 4,200 RPM and delivers significant added value by optimizing the thermal performance of your Raspberry Pi. Compatibility exists with the Raspberry Pi 4, but also with the 3 B+ and 3 A+ models.

The fan is equipped with RGB LED and a tactile switch, making it wonderfully controllable. The LED serves as an indicator to track the fan status and CPU load/temperature. The tactile switch is also handy: With the help of the included Python library and a daemon, you can program it to switch between temperature-controlled automatic mode and manual mode. Thanks to its "friction-fit" header, the Pimoroni Fan Shim can easily be plugged onto the pins of your mini computer and is ready to go without soldering. In general, the installation is uncomplicated and should not take more than two minutes. While the fan is doing its job, the noise level is very low: The maximum value is only 18.6 dB.

Apart from the Pimoroni Fan Shim, many other top products from Pimoroni are available at Berrybase. The Pibow Coupé 4 is recommended for all owners of a Raspberry Pi 4: The compact case reliably protects your mini computer from external influences like dust or shocks. All ports remain open and thus accessible. The high-quality processed and easy to mount frame for the official 7" Raspberry Pi touchscreen display also fulfills its protective function perfectly. With the Pirate Audio HAT you get a first-class 3W stereo amplifier for your mini computer: Use the module in combination with your Raspberry Pi and your speakers to control the playback of your favorite music and to create powerful sound.

Depending on what you have in mind, you can also use other modules from Pimoroni, such as LED sensors, camera modules or the Pico HAT Hacker.
