//| On boards designed for use with RGBMatrix panels, `board.MTX_ADDRESS` is a tuple of all the address pins, and `board.MTX_COMMON` is a dictionary with ``rgb_pins``, ``clock_pin``, ``latch_pin``, and ``output_enable_pin``.
//| For panels that use fewer than the maximum number of address pins, "slice" the ``MTX_ADDRESS`` to get the correct number of address pins.
