## Description

This super-cute 5x5 RGB LED matrix breakout is a neat way to visualise sensor data or for simple animations or notifications, and it's Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible.

These little matrices are ideal for visualising data from other Pimoroni breakouts in a [Breakout Garden HAT](Breakout-Garden-HAT), like graphing environmental data from our [BME680](BME680-Breakout-Air-Quality-Temperature-Pressure-Humidity-Sensor)breakouts. Or why not use two together as headlights or brake lights for your Pi-powered vehicle?

Like our other breakouts, this one just pops straight onto your Pi's pins once you've soldered on the included right-angle female header, and we included a trace that can be cut to change the I2C address from 0x74 to 0x77, if you want to use two matrices at once!

It's compatible with our fancy [Breakout Garden HAT](Breakout-Garden-HAT), where using breakouts is as easy just popping it into one of the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.

### Features

- 5x5 (25 total) RGB LEDs
- Uses the [IS31FL3731 driver chip](http://www.issi.com/WW/pdf/31FL3731.pdf)
- 15x15mm active area
- 3.5mm LED pitch
- I2C interface (address 0x74/0x77 (cut trace))
- 3.3V or 5V compatible
- Reverse polarity protection
- Compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi, and Arduino
- [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/rgbmatrix5x5-python)

### Kit includes

- 5x5 RGB Matrix Breakout
- 1x5 male header
- 1x5 female right-angle header

We've designed this breakout board so that you can solder on the piece of right-angle female header and pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9).

### Software

We've put together a [Python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/rgbmatrix5x5-python) to make it really easy to drive the 5x5 RGB Matrix Breakout, along with a handful of [examples](https://github.com/pimoroni/rgbmatrix5x5-python/tree/master/examples) to show what it can do.

**Our software does not support Raspbian Wheezy.**

### Notes

Dimensions: 19x29x3.5mm.
