The Adafruit RGB Matrix FeatherWing Kit lets you drive HUB75-type RGB LED matrices from any SAMD21 M0 or SAMD51 M4 Feather board. With built-in power regulation and a compact form factor, it's the easiest way to create colourful scrolling displays and LED wall projects using the Feather ecosystem.

The wing can be assembled in two ways: solder the 2×8 IDC header on top to connect via cable and stack on your Feather, or solder the 2×10 socket header on the bottom to plug the wing directly into the back of your matrix with the Feather stacked on top. A 5 V DC jack with polarity protection powers the matrix, and an onboard 3.3 V regulator powers the Feather — no separate USB or battery needed.
