## Possibly required depending on the display you are using.
- Some LED Matrix displays require an "E" addressable line to draw the display properly. The [64x32 Adafruit display](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2278) does NOT require the E addressable line, however the [92x46 Waveshare display](https://amzn.to/4pQdezE) DOES require the "E" Addressable line.
- Various ways to enable this depending on your Bonnet / HAT.
Your display will look like it is "sort of" working but still messed up.

## Mount/Stand
I 3D printed stands to keep the panels upright and snug. STL Files are included in the Repo but are also available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5169867 Thanks to "Randomwire" for making these for the 4mm Pixel Pitch LED Matrix.
