Hello,

I have a 64x64 Adafruit matrix and an Adafruit bonnet. When running the rpi-rgb-led demos the matrix does not display any animations, it only displays a constant striped image. I soldered the 8 bridge on my bonnet and soldered a wire from 8 to 14. The --led-show-refresh showed a refresh rate around 85 Hz. I have played with any rpi-rgb settings I can find and have made no progress. Are there any solutions to this?
