{"title":"1.2 8x8 Matrix Square Pixel - Blue","handle":"1-2-8x8-matrix-square-pixel-blue","url":"/products/1-2-8x8-matrix-square-pixel-blue","description":"This 1.2″ 8×8 LED Matrix features 64 blue LEDs arranged in a square grid, perfect for building scrolling signs, simple animations, or small pixel displays. The compact package plugs directly into a breadboard with 0.1″ pin spacing — eight pins on each side.\n\nThe matrix requires 1:8 multiplex driving. A dedicated driver such as the MAX7219 handles all the multiplexing work, or you can use shift registers (74HC595 for anodes, TPIC6B595 for cathodes) for a more hands-on approach.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n8×8 LED Matrix – 64 blue LEDs in a square pixel grid\n\n1.2″ Form Factor – Compact yet highly visible\n\nBreadboard Compatible – 16 pins with 0.1″ spacing (8 per side)\n\nDeep Blue Colour – Vibrant, eye-catching tone\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nLED Colour: Blue\n\nConfiguration: 8×8 matrix (64 LEDs)\n\nSize: 1.2″ × 1.2″\n\nPin Count: 16 (8 anodes, 8 cathodes)\n\nPin Spacing: 0.1″ (2.54 mm)\n\nDriving Method: 1:8 multiplex\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nScrolling text signs and marquees\nSimple animations and pixel art displays\nArduino and microcontroller LED projects\nLearning multiplexed display driving\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 1.2″ 8×8 Blue LED Matrix\n\n\n\nNote: This blue matrix uses a different manufacturing process than other 1.2″ blue LED matrices. Colours may not match exactly if used side by side.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13001,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-1817","price":9.65,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":11,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
