The M4 and ESP32 are a great couple - and each bring their own strengths to this board. The SAMD51 M4 has native USB so it can show up like a disk drive, act as a MIDI or HID keyboard\/mouse, and of course bootload and debug over a serial port. It also has DACs, ADC, PWM, and tons of GPIO, so it can handle the high speed updating of the RGB matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, the ESP32 has secure WiFi capabilities, and plenty of Flash and RAM to buffer sockets. By letting the ESP32 focus on the complex TLS\/SSL computation and socket buffering, it frees up the SAMD51 to act as the user interface. You get a great programming experience thanks to the native USB with files available for drag-n-drop, and you don't have to spend a ton of processor time and memory to do SSL encryption\/decryption and certificate management. It's the best of both worlds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with one fully-programmed and assembled MatrixPortal, preprogrammed with a rainbow digital sand demo for 32x64 LED matrices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes not come with an RGB Matrix (use any HUB75 compatible matrix) or a USB type C power supply!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Dimensions: 63.3mm x 44.5mm x 16.0mm \/ 2.5\" x 1.8\" x 0.6\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Weight: 17.0g \/ 0.6oz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32291385311315,"sku":"ADA4745","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/4745-14.jpg?v=1745608193","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-matrix-portal-circuitpython-powered-internet-display","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
