These boards plug into your Pi and makes it super easy to control RGB matrices such as those we stock in the shop and create a colorful scrolling... This was the first guide I tried. I ended up veering away from this method and re-installing the software directly after a long study of hzeller’s instructions as well as Pi/Unix practices. This was mainly due to troubleshooting a problem that turned out to be my adapter. But the linked guide was still a very helpful starting point to give me some experience and familiarity. This was my first use of a Pi too. What conversion board do you have? Depending on your adapter you may need to skip that part of the Adafruit guide. For example, I ended up wiring directly to the Pi’s GPIO pins and choosing led-gpio-mapping=regular.
