Adafruit MatrixPortal makes it easy to create a custom LED sign #RBG
Using the plug-in MatrixPortal board we just released last week, we were able to make a sign that we brought to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg memorial vigil in NYC. The code displays three initials and then scrolls through an image of the Justice. We used the matrix magnetic feet to temporarily attach it to PT’s bag, it was solid but easy to remove at the end of the night – video

Custom Scrolling Quote Board Matrix Display
Quotes! Who doesn’t love good quotes? But who’s to decide which quotes are “good”? Well, you are, of course!
Now, you can create your own quote board and supply the quotes for it yourself! No need to rely on a website and some other person’s curatorial tastes.
With this project, you’ll create a custom quote feed right on Adafruit IO, then code your CircuitPython-powered WiFi RGB LED matrix to display your quotes in random order.
