Hi everyone, I recently purchased a P10 DIP Red LED Matrix by XPS, but I’m having trouble getting the LED matrix to work. I’ve attached some pictures and details about my setup below, including the controller I’m using with my Raspberry Pi 4: https://www.electrodragon.com/product/rgb-matrix-panel-drive-board-raspberry-pi/ Code: sudo ./examples-api-use/text-example -f ./fonts/6x12.bdf --led-rows=16 --led-cols=32 --led-parallel=3 --led-chain=1 --led-no-hardware-pulse pi@valefarmcc:~/rpi-rgb-led-matrix $ sudo ./examples-api-use/text-example -f ./fonts/6x12.bdf --led-rows=16 --led-cols=32 --led-parallel=3 --led-chain=1 --led-no-hardware-pulse --led-show-refresh Enter lines. Full screen or empty line clears screen. Supports UTF-8. CTRL-D for exit. 918.3HzHz (lowest: 896.1Hz)z)z)z)z)z)z) Despite following the setup steps, the matrix doesn’t display anything properly. I suspect there may be an issue with my configuration, but I’m not sure where things are going wrong. If anyone has experience with this setup or knows what the issue might be, I’d greatly appreciate your advice! Thanks in advance for any help. ---
