It worked with some flickering; I’ll test with another power supply at the first attempt with a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB.

Hi, please double check the power supply, you need a lab power at least 3-4A. We never have this problem before, not yet sure what or where is wrong. If problem still not solve please email us info@electrodragon.com.
Here is another post to use RPI4, RPI4 should be no problem: https://iot-for-maker.blogspot.com/2020/02/led-5-raspberry-pi-4-dietpi-buster.html

Please tell me, does this board support working with P10 LED panels?

Perfect board. Had it for a while now and It can drive 6 64×64 LED panels with absolutely no problem.

Excellent board. There isn’t any problem to drive two 128*64 RGB LED Panels.

Hello, my name is Ger from Holland and have an question.
Is it possible to connect an P5 32×64 rgb matrix to the RGB LED Matrix Panel Drive Board voor Raspberry Pi.
Thanks for an answer.
Ger
Chao (store manager) –
Yes, any size of the panel should work, p2~p10, within 64×64 matrix, but every panel has its own specification of scans, you can just try different setup in code software to find correct settings. Best regards!

Just ordered them for testing. Will they work with Raspberry Pi Zero W?
toibs (verified owner) –
Great piece of kit! Simple but very effective. Have ordered over 70 of these now, and only had issues with one switch falling apart. Used on P2.5 and P5 Panels… will try on P10’s as well soon!! 🙂

Cheap and Fast but no luck. Been trying for a few weeks but can not get any panel to fully work. I have rows missing and have tried different pis and suggestions under the GitHub project.
Mine are green not red and seem to have a different chipset.
They did arrive fast though.

The problem is on the board. See channel D. It’s grounded. I have seen this problem on my boards. Cut the track and solder a wire between pin 12 on panel 0 to pin 12 on panel 1.
Chao (store manager) –
Hello Angel and Matthew, Yes indeed there is a problem
The line D (pin12 ) is failed and grounded by a design mistake, please cut the line as in the attached image, if you need a replacement please contact us by email info@electrodragon.com.
The problem only ocur on a few sizes of the boards, probably only large size, so we failed to test this out.
Very sorry for this problem, we are about to fix all this problem for stocks right now. Thank you !!

@chao,
please will you give more details how to fix this issue?
Any detailed pictures to show exactly where to cut the track(s) and where the pins needs a soldered wire etc.
Thanks in advance.
Chao (store manager) –
Hi, please see the fix of this problem here: https://www.electrodragon.com/w/MPC1073_Error
If you can not fix it manually, please email us info@electrodragon.com for a new replacement instead.
Sorry for this problem again.

@chao,
from diagram: https://www.electrodragon.com/w/File:MPC1073-error-3.png
… you wired Panel 0 (pin 12) to Panel 1 (pin 10) and cut trace.
But on diagram: https://www.electrodragon.com/w/File:MPC1073-error-4.png
…. you wired Panel 0 (pin 12) to Panel 1 (pin 12) and cut trace near Panel 0.
Is it Panel 1 (pin 10 or pin 12)?
Do you have other pictures on the DIY wire fix version?
I tried wiring Panel 0 (pin12) to Panel 1 (pin 10 and then pin12)… but didn’t fix issue.
Ricebelly –
I finally have the board fixed.
This is what I did:
P0 (pin 12) to P1 (pin12) and cut trace in these two areas.

The bonnet works, but I am getting the same problem with two black rows. I have the fixed version, as it was sent to me, with the bypass wire. Does anyone know how to fix this?
