LED Matrix Display for Home Assistant "PIXELIT"

📣 UPDATE 2024 - Ready Made device from Ulanzi https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DkP2J2D
Hi, I wanted to make a dot matrix display for a home assistant, but there is very little information on the Internet about the "Pixelit" project. The small amount of information that I found, is in German. So I decided to make a small video and explain how to set it up.
