Just wanted to thank you for your good work. Just finished soldering the active adapter today and everything is working fine :)

I noticed that the active adapter section doesn't currently have pictures of a as-built adapter of the current revision with rpi power in. If you want I can submit high res photos of my adapter to you.

Seeing how exited other people here at the Helsinki Hacklab are we might be building even more adapters quite soon :)

Here are some high resolution photos of the built adapter. led_matrix_1 led_matrix_2

And I hereby place them in the public domain, so you are free to use them on the documentation if you so wish.

Agreed. This is a great project. One of the easiest libraries to use and extremely well documented actually. I didn't use the board, but I designed a smaller one myself to run just one chain.

Thanks for the pictures @depili ! I'll consider using them next time I update the README for the board.

I just put mine together a couple of days ago as well - and it works, thanks so much for designing and sharing it! I agree, these pictures would be good as a gut check to make sure I wasn't putting anything on backwards. I didn't connect the power in yet, but I was assuming I should just install either one of the smoothing caps?

Here is mine, you're also welcome to use this picture if it helps. img_0049

Another project, a clock for AV production purposes, uses one 32x32 4mm pitch module and a 60 ws2812b led ring: Image of clock

Very nice!
