 Since hand-wiring can be a little tedious, here are some PCBs that help
 with the wiring when using the `rpi-rgb-led-matrix` code.

+   * As of 2024/12 and this thread: https://rpi-rgb-led-matrix.discourse.group/t/solved-aliexpress-2-string-passive-adapter-not-working-because-rpi-connector-was-soldered-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-board/892/26 , there is also a cheap passive 2 channel board that works great on a small board like rPi0 2W, but all chinese sellers that Marc Merlin surveyed at the time, sold the board soldered wrong and they do not work unless you order the board unsoldered and solder it yourself. Electrodragon is in the process of finishing a low profile 3 channel passive board that will be a proper replacement for the unnamed mis-soldered chinese board.
