Cheap 8 x8 addressable RGB matrix from TEMU. Can I drive it with NightDriverLED?

Spidermaf tinkers with driving a cheap 64 LED matrix bought from TEMU with a ESP board using Dave Plummers NightdriverLED software.

A couple of points: 1. The LED matrix boards are normally 5v not 3.3v so connect to VCC. Also, if you power the ESP board via the VCC/GND pins you are less likely to blow-up the ESP. 2. You only need a D1 Mini for powering one of these 8x8 matrix. Finally, I don't know about TEMU, but on AliExpress you can get the D1 boards for about £1 each if you buy multiple boards.

Yes do the follow up video and build of the old matrix.

You could make a big spaceship from close encounters of the 3rd kind with those lights

A very cool bit of tech for a fiver, and I'm loving the colour-duino. I'm sure I've seen it before, idk if it's ever made an appearance on the channel 😂

[@spidermaf]

I don't think Pixelbox has been on the channel before, you are correct

Interesting video. I've never bought anything from Temu but I might give this a go.

Ali also sells these matrix boards for less

Thank You

make a big led tetris game so we can play it on led screen make panel big or put loads together.

[@spidermaf]

That would suddenly get expensive as soon as you try and get more than one matrix, but I'd love to play that game

[@ifrite3]

they're molex connectors

[@spidermaf]

Molex, DuPont, JST. I wish I could tell the difference.
