### How can I configure it to work with an off-the-shelf board/shield with HUB75 connector, e.g. Adafruit MatrixPortal?
|
||||||
|
|

You need to find the correct pin mapping for your board. For Adafruit boards/shields, you can look in one of the examples provided with the Protomatter library, for example [here](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Protomatter/blob/master/examples/doublebuffer_scrolltext/doublebuffer_scrolltext.ino). Find your board variant, copy the pin values into the `#define`s described above, and pass the pin mapping into your `mxconfig`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, for MatrixPortal S3, the Protomatter example file contains the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
uint8_t rgbPins[] = {42, 41, 40, 38, 39, 37};
|
||||||
|
uint8_t addrPins[] = {45, 36, 48, 35, 21};
|
||||||
|
uint8_t clockPin = 2;
|
||||||
|
uint8_t latchPin = 47;
|
||||||
|
uint8_t oePin = 14;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
which for use with this library, converts to:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
#define R1_PIN 42
|
||||||
|
#define G1_PIN 41
|
||||||
|
#define B1_PIN 40
|
||||||
|
#define R2_PIN 38
|
||||||
|
#define G2_PIN 39
|
||||||
|
#define B2_PIN 37
|
||||||
|
#define A_PIN 45
|
||||||
|
#define B_PIN 36
|
||||||
|
#define C_PIN 48
|
||||||
|
#define D_PIN 35
|
||||||
|
#define E_PIN 21
|
||||||
|
#define LAT_PIN 47
|
||||||
|
#define OE_PIN 14
|
||||||
|
#define CLK_PIN 2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

If you want to use with a 64x64 pixel panel (typically a HUB75*E* panel) you MUST configure a valid *E_PIN* to your ESP32 and connect it to the E pin of the HUB75 panel! Hence the 'E' in 'HUB75E'
