16x32 RGB Display with Raspberry Pi - part 2

Daisy-chain three 16x32 LED Displays with a Raspberry Pi

In this tutorial, we will look at daisy chaining together two or three RGB LED displays and also wrapping some fast and efficient C code in Python that will create images on the fly and populate them with text before handing them over to the C code to do the refreshing of the display.

Connecting a 16x32 RGB LED Matrix Panel to a Raspberry Pi

How to connect a 16x32 RGB LED display to your Raspberry Pi

This tutorial uses C code to drive the display. We will also experiment (with limited success) in driving the display using Python.

FPGA RGB Matrix

Control large RGB LED matrices using an FPGA

Adafruit currently sells a really cool 16x32 RGB LED matrix panel in their store that is "designed to be driven by an FPGA or other high speed processor." The purpose of this tutorial is to help you get started driving a small handful of these displays with the DE0-Nano board, which contains a mid-range Altera FPGA.
