Adafruit Pimoroni Interstate 75 - RP2040 LED Matrix Driver

Enter the LED matrix with this all-in-one, USB-C powered controller for HUB75 panels. The Interstate 75 is a compact RP2040-based driver board engineered for seamless integration with HUB75-style LED matrices.

Connect effortlessly to the rear of an LED panel and swiftly create dynamic scrolling signage or vivid LED displays for sensor outputs. Streamlined yet powerful, it utilizes the RP2040 chipset, ensuring cost-effectiveness by excluding WiFi/BT capabilities found in other models. It supports 32x32, 32x64, and 64x64 LED matrices, ideal for projects requiring precise illumination.

USB-C powers and programs the board, delivering up to 3A, sufficing a single 64x64 panel, provided moderate brightness is maintained. For additional power needs, particularly when chaining panels, utilize the robust screw terminals.

The driver board incorporates dual buttons, a reset option, and an RGB LED for enhanced user interaction. Also equipped with a STEMMA QT connector, integrating STEMMA QT breakouts is remarkably simplified.

Key Specifications include dual Arm Cortex M0+ processor running up to 133Mhz, 264kB SRAM, 2MB QSPI flash, and C++/MicroPython library support. Fully assembled with approximate dimensions of 48.5 x 31 x 17mm, the Interstate 75 elevates LED matrix projects without necessitating soldering.
