The CompuCanvas MP series uses an Adafruit Matrix Portal (running CircuitPython) as the system controller. One of several RGB matrix panels are placed behind the canvas to produce a low resolution display.

• CompuCanvas MP-32 - 32x32 pixel matrix
• CompuCanvas MP-64h - 64x32 pixel matrix (horizontal)
• CompuCanvas MP-64v - 32x64 pixel matrix (vertical)
• CompuCanvas MP-64x - 64x64 pixel matrix

Follow the steps in this Adafruit guide to build a CompuCanvas MP.

The CCMP folder here contains a CircuitPython program that will drive the Matrix Portal with features like clocks, background images, message boards and more. To try it:

• You will need to copy these libraries to the .../CIRCUITPY/lib folder:
  • adafruit_bitmap_font
  • adafruit_bus_device
  • adafruit_display_shapes
  • adafruit_display_text
  • adafruit_esp32spi
  • adafruit_imageload
  • adafruit_io
  • adafruit_matrixportal
  • simpleio.mpy
  • neopixel.mpy
  • adafruit_requests.mpy
• Copy the contents of the CCMP folder here into the CIRCUITPY folder on the Matrix Portal.
• Edit the cc_config.py file in CIRCUITPY to configure for your hardware setup.
• Don't forget to create a secrets.py file (at the top-level in CIRCUITPY) with your WiFi details. You can use this as a template:

secrets = {
  'ssid' : 'insert your WiFi name here',
  'password' : 'insert your WiFi password here',
  'utc_offset' : -8, # PST
}
