8x8 Ultra Bright Square Amber LED Matrix + Backpack Adafruit 1854

Productinformatie

Productbeschrijving

What's better than a single LED? Lots of LEDs! Matrices like these are 'multiplexed' - so to control 64 LEDs you need 16 pins. That's a lot of pins, and there are driver chips like the MAX7219 that can control a matrix for you but there's a lot of wiring to set up and they take up a ton of space. Here at Adafruit we feel your pain! After all, wouldn't it be awesome if you could control a matrix without tons of wiring? That's where these lovely LED matrix backpacks come in. We have them in three flavors - a mini 0.7" 8x8, a small 1.2" 8x8 and a 4-digit 0.56" 7-segment. They work perfectly with the matrices we stock in the Adafruit shop and make adding a bright little display trivial.

The product kit comes with:

• A fully tested and assembled 1.2" LED backpack
• 1.2" 8x8 Matrix Square Pixel in Amber
• 4-pin header
