Hackerbox 0123 - Matrix

Thanks to @PCBWayCom for sponsoring this video. https://www.pcbway.com/ In this HackerBox 0123 Matrix video, we unbox the kit and walk through the official Instructable together, exploring the HUB75 64x32 RGB LED matrix display with the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 on a custom pcb at the helm. This one is a different vibe from 0122. No dramatic troubleshooting spiral, no electrodes on my chest. Just a genuinely fun unboxing and a guided tour through the examples HackerBoxes put together for this build. LED matrix displays are genuinely complex under the hood, but standing on the shoulders of giants like the @adafruit Protomatter library means you get to skip straight to the fun part. By the end you will have a solid foundation for building your own matrix projects. 🎁 Giveaway Time! Thanks to HackerBoxes, we are giving away a brand new HackerBox 0123 to one lucky commenter.
