Adafruit Small 1.2" 8x8 Ultra Bright Yellow-Orange LED Matrix

This compact 8x8 gridded yellow-orange LED matrix offers a vibrant display in a petite 1.2" size, making it perfect for creating scrolling signs or small video displays. Its manageable size ensures easy integration into a breadboard with minimal space requirements.

Featuring 16 pins with 0.1" spacing, this matrix slots seamlessly into a breadboard, allowing straightforward wiring. With the grid layout, 1:8 multiplex control is essential. Utilize the 74HC595 and TPIC6B595 combination for an efficient setup, controlling anodes and driving cathodes individually.

Alternatively, streamline your project using the MAX7219, which handles multiplexing with ease. For guidance, dive into tutorials available on the Arduino playground, showcasing step-by-step instructions for mastering the MAX7219 and 8x8 LED matrices.
