Adafruit Miniature 8x8 Yellow LED Matrix

The adorable miniature LED matrix, sized at just 0.8" square, is packed with features of a full-sized LED matrix but in a compact form. It contains 64 vibrant yellow LEDs arranged in an 8x8 grid, delivering exceptional brightness and clarity.

With 16 side pins, 8 on each, and a 0.1" pin spacing, it seamlessly integrates into a breadboard, offering ample space for wiring. Its grid design requires 1:8 multiplex control for optimal functionality.

Utilize a 74HC595 and TPIC6B595 setup to manage the 8 anodes and drive each cathode one at a time. Alternatively, simplify your project using a MAX7219, which handles multiplexing effortlessly. Explore tutorials on the Arduino playground to master the MAX7219 and expand your LED matrix capabilities.
