The Jacadaptor has 5 pinouts on its face, I soldered stacks on these and plug in a 51bit Colorbit using P2, V and Gnd. Colorbit has an output side with 3 wires going to a 256 RGB/LED array so the same Neopixel play pattern can be transferred from Colorbit to large array. I would like to output a string from Colorbit to array. Any help doing this would be appreciated.

Did you add jacdac for the colorbit yet?
I did it for my callimatrix 8x8

I have your callimatrix 5X5, @MKleinSB , I will try the your extension for that. I do not have the 8X8.
Thank you.

Wrote the jacdac extension for callimatrix 5x5. Added a new palette and an RGB-Block for better programming. Callimatrix MUST be at P0

For some reason this extension from Github for CalliMatrix 5X5 Jacdac does not install for me. The led blocks do not offer ‘callimatrix’ as an option. The system does install if I share a code URL with the extension already included. Therefore I have used shared programs only. I have tried this in 3 different browsers.

Sorry, extension was compiled for Calliope V3.
Should work now. Perhaps you have to update Jacdac to v1.9.26 which was released yesterday.
Have Fun
