Adafruit 1.2" 8x8 Matrix Square Pixel - White

Create eye-catching scrolling signs or small video displays with this compact 1.2" 8x8 gridded pixel white LED matrix. Its small size ensures easy integration into various projects while being large enough for excellent visibility. Designed with a 16-pin configuration, the matrix has 0.1" spaced pins for seamless breadboard compatibility.

Featuring bright white LEDs, this matrix offers a distinct visual impact, though it uses a different process than previous models, potentially varying its color profile. Enjoy flexibility with control systems as the grid requires 1:8 multiplexing. This can be achieved with components like the 74HC595 and TPIC6B595, or the highly recommended MAX7219 that simplifies multiplexing.

Perfect for creating custom LED animations, digital clocks, or light-up displays, this matrix promises a balance of form and function. Explore endless possibilities with comprehensive tutorials available in the Arduino playground, ensuring that even newcomers can make the most of this versatile little display.
