Raspberry Pi LED Matrix - Part 1 - Hardware

The goal is to have a led marquee that will randomly cycle through messages that are configured via a web interface. From there you can add edit and delete phrases. Additionally you can start and stop the marquee display.

The wiring diagram can be found on the adafruit page here:

- 5v 4a power supply (for 2 boards full color or 3 boards just text)
