Adafruit Small 1.2" 8x8 Ultra Bright Pure Green LED Matrix

This 8x8 pure green LED matrix is a versatile component for creating scrolling signs or small video displays. Its compact size, only 1.2 inches on each side, allows for easy integration into projects, fitting conveniently into a standard breadboard.

The matrix features 16 pins, with 8 on each side spaced at 0.1 inches. This configuration ensures simple installation and connection for seamless project building. The matrix's deeper green hue is distinct and should be noted as it may differ slightly from other LED module colors.

For operation, a 1:8 multiplex control is required. You can utilize components like the 74HC595 and TPIC6B595 for full control, managing anodes and cathodes efficiently, or simplify your design using a MAX7219, which handles the multiplexing automatically. Comprehensive tutorials are accessible via the Arduino playground to guide you through maximizing the potential of this vibrant display.
