Hello, as a computer science student I have caught the fancy of microcontrollers. I am currently trying to do a project whereby a 32 x 16 LED matrix can be controlled via Wi-Fi using an ESP32. The problem is that no matter how many ways I connect it, no matter what programs I upload, the matrix will not light up. I think the problem definitely lies with plugging this in, as it is Chinese hardware the instructions are quite unclear and I think there is a mistake with the numbering of the relevant pins on the manufacturer's website.

After a few hours of failing, I decided to try hooking this up to an Arduino Uno R4, the second microcontroller I own.
Surprisingly, once connected, the diodes lit up on their own, just like in the pictures (I am also sending the wiring diagram):
567ac. Best of all as soon as the Arduino has no power they light up, as soon as the Arduino has power they go out. There is no program on the Arduino. I specifically cleaned them before connecting them. I'm asking for any help, I'm struggling with this for the 4th day.
