52Pi N07 case + Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet — anyone confirm GPIO splitter works alongside an existing OLED ribbon cable?
Hey all, I’m running a Pi 5 8GB in a 52Pi N07 Minitower case at home (it handles Pi-hole, Home Assistant, some web crawling, Tailscale, etc.). I’m now adding an Adafruit RGB Matrix Bonnet (PID 3211) with a 64×32 P3 panel. I checked the Adafruit forums and the 52Pi product page first, but couldn’t find anyone mentioning this specific combo, so I’m asking here.
Right now the case’s GPIO pass-through already has a ribbon cable running to a small I2C OLED display (using GPIO 2/SDA and GPIO 3/SCL). I want to add the Bonnet on top of that same GPIO header using Edge GPIO expansion board splitter, so both the OLED and the Bonnet are connected at once.
Has anyone actually tried this combo? Specifically:
Any electrical/signal issues running I2C (OLED) and the Bonnet’s GPIO lines through the same splitter simultaneously?
Photos of your setup would help a ton. Thanks!
