LED strip input/output cable - 3-pin – Pin (3 pin input/output led strip)

These sturdy 3 pin connectors are ideal for attaching to our 3 pin Flexible RGB or RGBW LED Strip, for a secure connection that's easy to clip and unclip.

They're handy for prototyping, as they're easy to connect jumper cables to, and we've also found them useful for breaking out i2c and 1-wire cables to easily connect sensors and suchlike to projects.

These connectors are also JST-SM compatible.

RGB LED Matrix Panel – 32x64 4mm pitch (32x64 4mm led matrix)

Bring a little bit of Times Square into your home with these sweet RGB LED matrix panels.

These HUB75 style panels are normally used to make video walls, you can sometimes see them on the sides of buses and bus stops displaying animations or short video clips. They have bright RGB LEDs arranged in a 32x32, 32x64 or 64x64 grid on the front. On the back there is a PCB with a set of dual IDC connectors (one input, one output) and 12 16-bit latches that allow you to drive the display with a 1:16 scan rate.

These panels require 13 digital pins (6 bit data, 7 bit control) and a good 5V supply, up to 4A per panel). They are 'chainable' if you connect one output to the next input - you will need a microcontroller with a suitably high speed processor and enough RAM plus a software library that supports this.

These displays are designed to be driven by FPGAs or other high speed processors: they do not have built in PWM control of any kind. Instead, you're supposed to redraw the screen over and over to 'manually' PWM the whole thing. On a 16 MHz Arduino, it's possible to squeeze 12-bit color (4096 colors) with 40% CPU usage but they will do best powered by an FPGA or other high speed multi-core controller (like a recent Raspberry Pi or Feather). They are pre-white balanced with nice uniformity so if you turn on all the LEDs it's not a particularly tinted white.

Here are some nice, tidy ways to connect up and drive your LED matrices:

  • Interstate 75 (RP2040 based all-in-one controller)
  • RGB Matrix Shield (for Arduino and compatibles)
  • RGB Matrix Bonnet or RGB Matrix HAT (for Raspberry Pi)
  • RGB Matrix Featherwing (for M0, M4 and RP2040 Feathers or nRF52840 Feathers)

Raspberry PI Camera Cable Extender (Cam cable joiner/extender)

PLEASE NOTE: Pic is for demonstration purposes only
Ribbon Cables are NOT included, this is the adaptor board only!


This neat little adapter board is designed to join two Raspberry Pi Camera board cables together, allowing you to extend the length of the camera cable on Raspberry Pi B/B /2/3 and Pi Zero using multiple cables!

The Raspberry Pi camera module comes with its own 30cm cable to connect to the Pi, but sometimes that's simply not long enough. This lovely little board lets you add extension cables to your existing camera cable, giving you as much range as you'll need!

Features

  • 1mm Pitch
  • 15 Way Flat Cable Connector Female to Female
  • Designed for Raspberry Pi Camera Cables

Raspberry Pi B/B /2/3 - You will need 2 standard Raspberry Pi Camera Cables One Extender Board.

Raspberry Pi Zero -You will need one Pi Zero Camera Cable Standard Raspberry Pi Camera Cable  One Extender Board.

Unicorn HAT HD (Unicorn HAT HD)
Description:

We've stepped up our LED game! Unicorn HAT HD crams 256 RGB LEDs, in a 16x16 matrix, onto a single HAT. High-definition rainbow goodness!

You can still use it for all of the same things as the regular Unicorn HAT, but with 4 times as many pixels it makes much more complex animations possible, including scrolling text, and even low resolution videos.

The bundled ninja diffuser makes the pixels look extra-shiny by providing some subtle diffusion, blurring the lines between each pixel. Simply use four of the nuts to space the diffuser slightly away from the HAT, and the other four to secure it.

The MagPi said that Unicorn HAT HAD had a "real wow factor" and that the "performance is excellent" in their five star review.

Features

  • 256 RGB LED pixels in a 16x16 matrix
  • Pixels driven by ARM STM32F and three STP16CPC26 LED drivers
  • Bundled ninja diffuser, plus nuts and bolts
  • Unicorn HAT HD pinout
  • Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B , A , Zero, and Zero W
  • Python library
  • Comes fully assembled

The ARM chip on Unicorn HAT HD does all of the heavy lifting, meaning that you can just bung data to it and it'll take care of the rest. It acts as the man-in-the-middle between your Pi and the three STP16CPC26 LED drivers that actually drive the LEDs.

Software

Our Python library will have your Unicorn HAT HD pooping out high-definition rainbows in a jiffy. There's a stack of examples too, to show you how to create slick animations, simulate the Game of Life, a forest fire or a flickering candle, and even scroll text!

Notes
  • Photo-sensitivity warning: flashing, strobing, and patterns of lights may cause epileptic seizures. Always take care and immediately stop using if you feel unwell (dizziness, nausea, affected vision, eye twitching, disorientation).
  • Power: Unicorn HAT HD requires a >2A microUSB power supply for your Pi. We recommend the official Raspberry Pi power supply.
