5×5 RGB Matrix Breakout

This super-cute 5×5 RGB LED matrix breakout is a neat way to visualize sensor data or for simple animations or notifications, and it’s Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible. These little matrices are ideal for visualizing data from other Pimoroni breakouts in a Breakout Garden HAT, like graphing 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 just pops straight onto your Pi’s pins once you’ve soldered on the included right-angle female header, and Pimoroni 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 just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.
