Blinky time! This is an LED matrix for the Raspberry Pi Pico packing no less than 160 RGB LEDs in a 16×10 layout!

The board uses160 RGB full-colour, externally-controlled, constant current integrated LEDs with an embedded controller IC. Under the board is a 4-pin header for cascading multiple boards (maybe 160 isn’t enough LEDs for you?!).

The module includes female headers that allow you to just push your Pico onto the board, making connecting the Raspberry Pi Pico fast and easy.

We have an excellent tutorial showing how to use this display, including how to display colours, values, time, scrolling strings and sensor readings!

A Raspberry Pi Pico is not included – click here if you’d like to buy one. Your Pico will need to havemale headerssoldered to it with the pins pointing downwards (or grab one of our Pre-soldered Picos).
