- I heard you liked matrices, so how about you attached a matrix to your matrix to make a matrix squared!:

An all-in-one, Raspberry Pi Pico W powered controller for HUB75 LED matrix panels.
Interstate 75 W is a Pico W-based driver board for HUB75-style LED matrices. It's designed to plug neatly into the back of a LED panel, and provides a quick and easy way to whip up some scrolling signage or an eye-catching LED display for sensor outputs. Because it has a Raspberry Pi Pico W aboard you can also use it to display information from the internet! 🌎
I75 W is powered from the Pico W's micro-USB port, which should also be able to power a few connected panels happily, assuming you're not planning anything too eye-bleedingly bright. There's also two useful buttons, a reset button and an onboard RGB LED.
We've also popped a QW/ST connector on there, to make it super easy to plug in Qwiic or STEMMA QT breakouts.
Here are some things you could do!
🚌 Tap into an API and display bus times, plane tracking or traffic info.
📈 Generate a big bold graph showing air quality or other sensor readings.
💡 Create some ad hoc, easily adjustable signage for your classroom, maker stall or kebab shop.
💾 Scroll greetz to your crew, just like in the old days:
