5. Setup and Installation
The AZERONE P4 Flexible LED Matrix requires a compatible control system and a stable DC5V power supply for operation. This module uses the standard Hub-75 interface for data communication.
5.1 Power Connection
Connect the LED matrix to a DC5V power source. Ensure the power supply can provide sufficient current for the module's maximum power consumption (1000 w/m2). Warning: Connecting to an incorrect voltage (e.g., 12V or AC power) will damage the module. Verify your power supply is rated for DC5V.
5.2 Data Connection (Hub-75)
The module features a Hub-75 interface for data input. Connect your chosen LED controller (e.g., SmartMatrix, Teensy, ESP32, or other compatible controllers) to the Hub-75 input port using a suitable ribbon cable. Ensure the cable is correctly oriented to avoid damage or incorrect display output.

8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your LED matrix. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
8.1 Module Does Not Power On
- Check Power Supply: Ensure your power supply is providing a stable DC5V. Verify that the power supply is correctly connected to the module's power input. Incorrect voltage (e.g., 12V or AC) will prevent the module from powering on and can cause permanent damage.
- Power Supply Capacity: Confirm your power supply has sufficient current capacity for the module's power requirements.
- Connections: Double-check all power cable connections for looseness or incorrect polarity.
8.2 Incorrect Colors or Color Shifting (e.g., BRG instead of RGB)
- Controller Configuration: This is often caused by incorrect configuration in your LED controller software. Many controllers allow for remapping of color channels (e.g., RGB to BRG). Adjust the color order settings in your controller software to match the module's expected input.
- Data Cable Orientation: Ensure the Hub-75 data cable is connected with the correct orientation. An inverted cable can lead to scrambled or shifted colors.
8.3 Stray or Malfunctioning Pixels
- Pixel Rate: A small percentage of "out of control pixels" (0.03%) is within manufacturing tolerance.
- Controller Issue: Test the module with a different controller or configuration if possible to rule out controller-related issues.
- Physical Damage: Inspect the module for any visible physical damage to individual LEDs or the board.
- Contact Support: If a significant number of pixels are malfunctioning, contact AZERONE customer support.
8.4 Display Appears Dim or Flickering
- Power Supply: Insufficient power supply current can lead to dimness or flickering, especially at higher brightness settings. Ensure your power supply meets the module's maximum power consumption.
- Refresh Rate: Verify the refresh rate setting in your controller. A low refresh rate can cause visible flickering. The module supports 840Hz screen refresh frequency.
- Cable Quality: Poor quality or excessively long data cables can degrade signal integrity, leading to display issues.
