Adafruit Small 1.2" 8x8 Ultra Bright Red LED Matrix

This compact 8x8 gridded red LED matrix transforms any project needing a scrolling sign or small video display. With a side length of just 1.2 inches, it is perfectly sized for breadboard integration, featuring a dual-row of 16 pins with a 0.1-inch spacing for easy setup.

Optimized for multiplex control, this display requires 1:8 multiplexing. Utilize a 74HC595 and TPIC6B595 combo for efficient anode-cathode control, or streamline your project with a single MAX7219 chip to handle all multiplexing operations seamlessly.

Robust tutorials and resources are available in the Arduino playground, ensuring an accessible approach to mastering the MAX7219 and maximizing the LED matrix capabilities in any developing project.
