Anyone tried the Joy-it MATRIXCTRL as an active adapter?

See this MATRIXCTRL active adapter bei Reichelt Elektronik.

Accoding to Mit dem Raspberry Pi individuelle Texte, Bilder und Videos auf LED-Matrizen anzeigen - reichelt Magazin it appears to be an (albeit more expensive) alternative to the adapter from electrodragon.

As I’m in Germany, I’ll try the one from Reichelt as it’ll get delivered much faster to me.

ok, please report back :slight_smile:

Good news, everybody!

The adapter works. I’m using it with a Pi 4 B and a “standard” LED matrix panel (no special settings needed).

Features:

  • Contains a fan for cooling the CPU on the main board (can be unplugged)
  • Offered screw-fastening sockets for 5V power supply to both the adapter and the Pi.
  • Has jumper to configure whether the E line (for 64x64 panels) is on pin 4 or 8.

It delivers very fast from Germany (I got it after two days within Germany).

I would show more pics of the adapter but this §$%&/ forum still limits me to one.

Also, why can’t I edit the post title? I was able to do that with my other post. Stupid Discourse.

never heard of it, but please post a review when you get it working.

I did already write that it works. And it’s the same as @graybush used.

Or what do you mean by review? Please read my comments more carefully: I pointed out that I would like to add more pics was so far preventing from doing so, nor could I change the title of this post. And even though I got an email earlier that I’m “upgraded” here, I still can’t edit the first post of mine here.
