AdafruitRGB Matrix HAT + RTC for Raspberry Pi - Mini Kit

Q: Does this product include the LED matrix board?

No - You'll need to purchase that separately. To be honest, you'd be better off buying the LED RGB Matrix and soldiering your own level shifter \ buffer and using the latest code from Henner Zeller. The adafruit code is based on Henners, but out of date.

Q: Will this work with the Raspberry Pi 3?

Works great with a Pi3, and a PI Zero. Have it currently running 3 panels perfectly, (another three on order). The CPU does get very hot when in use, so I would definitely get a fan and a heatsink. It has power out (3.3V and 5V) on the top so easy to plug one in. You do have to solder all the connectors to it, so be aware of that if you have not soldered before. The hardware clock works fine, I have not tried the power connector, as I do not really want to put the power through a wee circuit board that the current three panels demand, but no reason why it could not be used for something else. Makes connection easier, as I have broke one 64 x 32 panel wiring it up wrong by not paying attention.

Q: Hi, saw your answer to the previous question, so are you not recommending this product as a way to connect a rpi to a led matrix? whats the alternativ

I have used this product in an art piece to display an image on an led display. I coded it to mimic what's on a tv and I haven't had any problems with it. So I would recommend it.
