Amazing. Your videos are always great and helpful. I love how you are not using all the fancy controllers and keep it simple. I am doing my first show this year with WT32-ETH01boards. Thanks for all you do to help people as you helped me get my matrix going.

No problem! I'm glad you found the videos helpful. I like the idea that we can start with cheap components just to see if we enjoy the hobby and want to go deeper. A lot of the marketed boards are over engineered and have a lot more components than most really need which makes it expensive just to start.
However, having said that, the marketed boards do have a lot of safety components like fuses that are necessary and useful components like level shifters that are really useful. They also come in custom PCB boards that make it really compact to fit in a small space.
I hope you have a good season and that your matrix works for you. My family and I found the Matrices were the centerpiece to our show and we can do a lot of fun things. Happy holidays!
