yes. it worked with a 3.7 v battery (no boost) and 3.3v data line from my teensy : https://vine.co/v/eehDU29bYAl
people are super concerned with the power draw of this thing. it isn't that bad, if plan for your final application. i'm displaying text, in colors, over about half the panel, so maybe 5% of the leds are even used at any given time. from there my colors and brightness knock it down another 5%. now, im looking at less than an amp at maximum and about to run the entire thing off this battery and parts for at least a couple hours.
