Illuminate your projects with a dazzling burst of color using the NeoMatrix, an 8x8 grid of 64 RGB LEDs. Each pixel is individually addressable, providing unlimited creative potential with 24-bit color. Only a single microcontroller pin is needed to operate the array.
Simplified connectivity is achieved with two 3-pin connection ports. Just solder wires to the input port and supply 5VDC to the +5V and ground pins, while connecting the DIN pin to your preferred microcontroller.
Maximize brightness and color depth, knowing that each LED can draw up to 60mA. A 5V 2A power supply is recommended for typical uses, though chaining multiple panels may require more robust power solutions.
Effortlessly expand your display by linking multiple matrices. Connect the DIN of the additional panel to the DOUT of the first, with grounded and powered connections in place.
A real-time microcontroller like AVR or Arduino is essential due to the timing-sensitive protocol of NeoPixels. Compatibility issues exist with Linux-based or interpreted microcontrollers.
Explore the expansive possibilities with our NeoPixel library for Arduino, featuring hand-tuned assembly specifically for AVR cores and ready-made code for multiple Arduino models.
