Adafruit RGB Matrix FeatherWing Kit - For nRF52840 Feathers

The Adafruit RGB Matrix FeatherWing Kit for nRF52840 lets you drive HUB75-type RGB LED matrices from nRF52840-based Feather boards. 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 with Bluetooth connectivity.

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.

Key Features

  • nRF52840 Feather Compatible – Designed for Feather nRF52840 Express and Sense boards
  • HUB75 Matrix Support – Drives 16×32, 32×32, and 64×32 RGB LED matrices
  • Dual Assembly Options – IDC cable on top or direct plug-in on the back of the matrix
  • Onboard Power Regulation – 5 V input with polarity protection; built-in 3.3 V regulator for the Feather
  • 2.1 mm DC Jack – Standard barrel connector for 5 V power supply
  • Compact Build – No separate USB or battery required for the Feather
Important: This FeatherWing is only tested and designed to work with nRF52840 Feathers (Express and Sense). It is not compatible with SAMD21/SAMD51 (M0 or M4) Feathers — a separate version with correct wiring is available for those boards.

Ideal For

  • Bluetooth-connected LED matrix displays
  • Portable scrolling text and signage projects
  • Compact LED wall installations
  • Feather-based IoT display projects with BLE

Package Contents

  • 1× RGB Matrix FeatherWing PCB for nRF52840 (surface-mount parts pre-attached)
  • 1× 2×8 IDC shrouded header
  • 1× 2×10 female socket header
  • 1× 2.1 mm DC jack
  • 1× 5.08 mm terminal block
  • 1× Male header strip
Note: Feather board, RGB LED matrix, and 5 V power supply are sold separately. Some soldering is required for assembly. You may also want Feather stacking headers or female headers depending on how you plan to attach your Feather.
