Miniature 8×8 Red LED Matrix

Description Show Reviews You will squeak with delight when you hold this adorable miniature LED 8×8 matrix. 0.8″ square, it’s got everything a big LED matrix has, but bite-sized! There are 16 pins on the side, 8 on each, with 0.1″ spacing so you can easily plug it into a breadboard with plenty of space to wire it up. Since the display is in a grid, you’ll need to 1:8 multiplex control it. We suggest either using a 74HC595 and TPIC6B595 (using the 74HC’ to control the 8 anodes at once and then using the TPIC’ to drive one cathode at a time) or just using a single MAX7219 which will do the multiplexing work for you. The Arduino playground has a nice set of tutorials introducing the MAX7219 and 8×8 LED matrices TECHNICAL DETAILS Datasheet – We currently have LuckyLight as the supplier for this matrix. Previously we carried BetLux.
