1.2 8x8 square LED matrix

This gorgeous white 8x8 square LED matrix is a great choice for scrolling signs or adding a compact display to your project. With a 1.2-inch size, it's clearly visible and small enough to fit on a breadboard. It's controlled by 16 pins (8 on each side; check the datasheet for the pinout). You can find the code to directly drive the LEDs on the Arduino Playground. Get this LED matrix for your next project!

Using this LED matrix is easy. First, connect it according to the pinout in the datasheet. You can use the code from the Arduino Playground to drive the LEDs. For scrolling signs, adjust the code to make the text move. When handling the matrix, be gentle to avoid damaging the pins. Keep it in a dry and clean place. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity as it may affect its performance.
