We’ve made it easier than ever to add content to your RGB Matrix Panel using the text messaging app on your phone. Set up a smart phone with our Adafruit IO+ service, and send text messages that magically scroll across your matrix in bright colors. Update your sign from anywhere, or give the control to your employees or family members, since there’s no coding or computer needed to update your sign.
