PicoBricks

My Pico Bricks for Raspberry Pi Pico.

PicoBricks is a project for the Raspberry Pi Pico, a microcontroller board that has a lot of potential. It is a collection of software libraries and code examples that make it easy to program RGB LED matrices, which are commonly used in LED displays and signs.

The Pico Bricks libraries allow the Raspberry Pi Pico to control the RGB LED matrices by sending data over GPIO pins to shift registers that control the individual LED lights. This means that you can create complex animations, scrolling text, and other visual effects using the Pico Bricks libraries and the Raspberry Pi Pico.
