Resources and Going Further

Now that you've successfully got your SmartLED shield for Teensy up and running, it's time to incorporate it into your own project!

For more information, check out the resources below:

  • SmartMatrix Library

Need some inspiration for your next project? Check out some of these related tutorials using a Raspberry Pi or an ESP32 to control the panels! Keep in mind the boards require a different library to control the RGB LED Matrix Panel.

Maybe try making a hover pong game with the 32x32 RGB LED Matrix using a gesture sensor and the SmartLED Shield. The example code can be found in the GitHub repo HoverPong.

Or check out the old Aurora project. The project combines clock and animated GIFs examples with an IR remote and receiver for a dynamic display. The code also includes the ability to react to sound using a MSGEQ7

Note: Try mapping a touch panel with a matrix display using the SparkX 7 inch Qwiic capacitive touch panel [SPX-15104]!
