Some here might frown upon this answer, but I’ve found ChatGPT to be very helpful in diagnosing errors and troubleshooting. I had similar issues with the rgbmatrix.core and through lots of trial and error got it sorted, but I am unable to tell you exactly how I solved it because I made lots of different attempts.
