{"product_id":"miniature-8x8-blue-led-matrix","title":"Miniature 8x8 Blue LED Matrix","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou will squeak with delight when you hold this adorable miniature LED matrix. 0.8\" square, its got everything a big LED matrix has, but bite sized! 64 bright blue LEDs are contained inside the plastic body, in an 8x8 matrix. There are 16 pins on the side, 8 on each, with 0.1\" spacing so you can easily plug it into a breadboard with plenty of space to wire it up\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the display is in a grid, you'll need to 1:8 multiplex control it. We suggest either using a 74HC595 and TPIC6B595 (using the 74HC' to control the 8 anodes at once and then using the TPIC' to drive one cathode at a time) or just using a single MAX7219 which will do the multiplexing work for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Arduino playground has a nice set of tutorials introducing the MAX7219 and 8x8 LED matrices\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a Common Cathode LED Matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.75g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nDatasheet - We currently have LuckyLight as the supplier for this matrix.
