Review: Good product, good support - I had some trouble getting this display going. Using an Arduino Mega and some sample code found online, I ended up with just 1 LED coming on. When I reached out to the manufacturer, they were responsive and offered a wiring diagram to assist. They also mentioned that 1 LED lit often means no data connection. I verified solid connections and when that still didn’t work, the manufacturer offered to send a remote controller to use for testing. It was then that I realized I had switched data with ground. Duh. If only I looked at that after the support engineer mentioned it... Once I made the proper connection the unit worked well. Bright, rich colors. This is my first experience with an LED matrix, but if need to by another, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase this one again. TL;DR: Good customer service Nice matrix display Would buy again
Review: Good panel at a good price - This is a good panel at a good price. I ordered two at $37.88 each, and tested them first thing to make sure there were no dead pixels. Both panels work flawlessly. Color rendering is good, and is consistent across the panel. Each panel was in a nice white box, but I was surprised that instead of being placed in an ESD protective anti-stat bag, the panels were wrapped in bubble wrap, known for holding static charge. My only issue is that the advertised size is incorrect - they are not 0.48ft by 0.48ft. They measure 6 5/16 inches (square), which is 0.53ft. Your enclosure needs to be at least 6 3/8' inside measurement. If I had built my enclosures relying on the 0.48ft description I would've been rather angry because the panels will not fit inside a 6" square hole. WS2812 LEDs get a little warm when holding a bright color over time and this panel does as well, since the LEDs are closely spaced. You need to give them good ventilation. For those reviewers whining about the serpentine addressing - this is the most efficient way to connect the rows (or columns). Build your own panel and you'll see. There is a simple solution - simply create a 2D ([rows][cols]) map that converts a logical row+column position into the corresponding physical position in the panel.

## Features

- Compatibility: Works with various controllers for different effects like music mode, subtitle display, video display, etc.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The connections on the back center of the panel have a red and black pair stenciled 5v / red lead and din/ black. is this stenciling wrong?**
A: The center connection on my panel is also marked that way.  The Din on the center connection is actually gnd or 0v.  It is connected to the gnd wires on the ends of the panel.  (you can verify this with an ohmmeter)  It is best to apply 5v and gnd to all three sets of wires to avoid voltage drops across the panel.

**Q: What else do I need to operate this panel**
A: Well if this is your first time to operate this LED panel , you can use the K-1000C controller , the DC5V10A power supply .  You can use the K1000C to program a scrolling test, photo , some chasing lighting effect . 
K-1000C  teaching video 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD8moscZOVU&t=20s
There are 4 parts . If you are a beginner , please watch all of them . 


Part 1(start time 00:05-03:12) : This part I teach you how to connect the power supply , controller and the LED strip . It is also used to check the connection before you program a file for the project . 

Part 2(start time 03:12-18:16) : I will teach you how to program a lighting effect for you WS2812B 16X16 LED matrix panel . It is the same way to program a file for other addressable panels. 

Part 3(start time 18:17-25:07): I will teach you how to program a lighting effect a lighting effect for WS2812B LED strip . When you learn this , you can program a lighting effect for all the smart IC led strip .

Part 4(start time 25:08-36:05) : I will teach you how to connect two K1000C controller to control  3000 Pixels Panel . We call it Cascade synchronization

Anyother question , you can contact us support@btf-lighting.com

**Q: Do you have any versions that do not bend?**
A: This is flexible PCB board , we can make it unbendable . It depends on how many do you want ? You can contact us   support@btf-lighting.com

**Q: Can this be operated by battery?**
A: this must be DC5V .
In theory is possible, if your battery is DC5V .However, it is difficult to guarantee working hours , it deepends on your battery capacity.
We recommand the power adapter DC5V10A for this product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good quality and ease of use
*by A***K on April 4, 2020*

I got two of the 8x32 version, and i must say the quality is impeccably good for both of them. Both were packaged very well and even include a extra 3 pin connector, which is nice, and both were totally clean and undamaged when they arrived. These things are ridiculously bright even at low power levels, like I can light up my whole room at just 5% brightness bright, even with just the output of a Arduino Uno! They are also very easy to use, only really needing care not to accidentally send more then 5V into them, otherwise it's almost as easy as plug-and-play. Definitely a very great LED array, far better then most of the other ones I have seen around the same price. I recommend using a external power source though, these things really can pull a lot of volts and amps at higher brightness!
