Small 1.2" 8x8 Ultra Bright Red LED Matrix - KWM-30881CVB
Make a scrolling sign, or a small video display with this 8x8 gridded red LED matrix.
Only 1.2" on a side, it is quite visible but not so large it won't plug into a breadboard! There are 16 pins on the side, 8 on each, with 0.1" spacing so you can easily plug it into a breadboard with one row on each side for wiring it up.
Since the display is in a grid, you'll need to 1:8 multiplex control it. We suggest either using aĀ 74HC595Ā andĀ TPIC6B595Ā (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 singleĀ MAX7219Ā which will do the multiplexing work for you.
The Arduino playground has a nice set of tutorials introducing the MAX7219 and 8x8 LED matrices
