One link in ReadMe is Broken #29

Hi Colin,

Thanks so much for the great information and guide - I am fairly new to woodwork & electronics (though experienced at coding), and had a blast building this yesterday with my partner's help! It worked first time, and I'm having a lot of fun tweaking it a bit now :)

One thing I noticed was in your ReadMe the link in Install the RGB Screen - step 3 is broken:

Please read the official installation instructions for further details before proceeding but don't run any commands or install anything yet.

We used this instead (part of the Adafruit guide you link initially): https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-rgb-matrix-bonnet-for-raspberry-pi/install-using-script to read about all the installation options prior to returning to your guide to run the commands.

Not sure if that is a drop-in replacement to the link you originally intended, but thought I'd let you know the link is broken and provide a (possible?) replacement to help make it easier for others to follow your fantastic guide.

Thanks again for this - I work very near an airport (though not Zurich - it's just busy enough to provide good constant planes for tweaking!) and can't wait to get this set up in my office to have it 'announce' the planes I see out the window!

Best,
Emma
