Working with Pico

Hardware Connection
Preparation

• RGB-Matrix-P4-64×32
• Raspberry Pi Pico (It must be purchased separately. If not, it is recommended to buy one with soldered pin headers, which is convenient for wiring.)

Diagram

Software Setting

• Download the demo
• After connecting the wire according to the diagram, you can set the software: environment building 

Performance

• After setting up the CircuitPython environment, you can copy all the contents of the CircuitPython directory in the downloaded Pico example to the recognized USB flash driver, and you can run the example (there are 16 demos in this code).
• The PSD folder is a file in “.psd” format, which can be used to modify the text image that needs to be moved. The modified image needs to be saved as “Excellent” and the format needs to be converted to “BMP” format.

• Display text
• Set scrolling effect
