Adafruit 0.56" 4-Digit 7-Segment Display w/I2C Backpack - Yellow

What beats a single LED? An array of LEDs! Perfect for crafting vibrant displays, the 8x8 matrix or 4-digit 7-segment display offers endless possibilities. Traditionally, controlling these LEDs meant handling 14 pins — a cumbersome task made simpler with matrix backpacks.

Our LED matrix backpacks take the hassle away by incorporating a driver chip that handles multiplexing. With features like a built-in clock, constant-current drivers for consistent brightness, and 1/16 step dimming, you achieve captivating visuals effortlessly. The simple I2C interface and address-selection jumpers allow combining multiple matrices or segments on a single bus, offering scalable display options.

Included in the kit is a fully assembled backpack, ultra-bright 4-digit 0.56" yellow seven-segment display, and a 4-pin header. Minimal soldering is required, facilitating a quick setup within minutes. Improved with two STEMMA QT connectors, it integrates easily with SparkFun Qwiic I2C systems for solderless connections.

Our comprehensive tutorial simplifies the process, guiding you through soldering, wiring, and controlling the display. Equipped with a user-friendly library, launching your display takes less than 30 minutes, making complex display setups beautiful and accessible.
