Adafruit 16x9 LED matrix
I bought an LED matrix and a driver from Adafruit. They are soldered together as per the instructions, but how do I actually run them with my Raspberry Pi? The provided libraries are intended for Arduino.

Is this the driver card you purchased?io587 wrote:I bought an LED matrix and a driver from Adafruit. They are soldered together as per the instructions, but how do I actually run them with my Raspberry Pi? The provided libraries are intended for Arduino.
If so, it uses i2c. You can talk to your i2c device (you'll need to do some on-line research) using the RPi.GPIO, or wiringpi, or pigpio libraries readily available for the RPi. Much of that is built-in now on the new Raspbian images.
