Getting Started

---------------

Hardware Setup

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Connect the Adafruit MatrixPortal M4 to the 64x32 RGB LED matrix.

2. Power the MatrixPortal M4 using a USB-C cable connected to your computer or a power source.

Software Setup

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Install `CircuitPython `_ on the MatrixPortal M4

2. Download the `Adafruit CircuitPython Bundle `_

3. Copy the following libraries to the ``lib`` folder on your CIRCUITPY drive:

   * adafruit_matrixportal

   * adafruit_display_text

   * adafruit_bme280

   * adafruit_bus_device

   * adafruit_register

Connect the BME280 Sensor

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Connect the BME280 sensor to the Matrix Portal using I2C:

   * VIN to 3.3V

   * GND to GND

   * SCL to SCL

   * SDA to SDA

Upload the Code

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Copy the ``code.py`` file from this repository to your CIRCUITPY drive.

2. The MatrixPortal should do the rest from here, otherwise reset.
