  9 1,628 4.8 Python

  Python script to simulate the display from "The Matrix" in terminal. Uses half-width katakana unicode characters by default, but can use custom character sets. Accepts keyboard controls while running. Based on CMatrix.

Looks like it doesn’t run cmatrix but you could recreate the effect with circuitpython. It may not be the easiest but it will be the cheapest option. There’s a Python version of cmatrix called unimattix that you can potentially start from. https://github.com/will8211/unimatrix/blob/master/unimatrix.py
