Adafruit Miniature 8x8 Yellow-Green LED Matrix

You will squeak with delight when you hold this adorable miniature LED matrix. At just 0.8 inches square, it has all the functionality of a larger LED matrix in a bite-sized package.

It features 64 bright yellow-green LEDs arranged in an 8x8 matrix, housed neatly within a compact plastic body. Each side of the matrix is equipped with 16 pins, providing ample connectivity through its 0.1-inch spacing, making it a perfect fit for easy breadboard integration.

The 8x8 configuration requires 1:8 multiplex control. Utilize either a 74HC595 and TPIC6B595 combo to handle the 8 anodes and drive one cathode at a time, or opt for the MAX7219, which simplifies the process with automatic multiplexing.

Experiment with dynamic light displays and animations by following well-documented Arduino tutorials that explain how to use the MAX7219 and similar 8x8 LED matrices. It opens up a world of possibilities for creating dazzling digital patterns in a compact form.
