## Description

This 1.2″ 8×8 LED Matrix features 64 yellow 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. The 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. Key Features 8×8 LED Matrix – 64 yellow LEDs in a square pixel grid 1.2″ Form Factor – Compact yet highly visible Breadboard Compatible – 16 pins with 0.1″ spacing (8 per side) Deep Yellow Colour – Warm, distinctive tone Specifications LED Colour: Yellow Configuration: 8×8 matrix (64 LEDs) Size: 1.2″ × 1.2″ Pin Count: 16 (8 anodes, 8 cathodes) Pin Spacing: 0.1″ (2.54 mm) Driving Method: 1:8 multiplex Ideal For Scrolling text signs and marquees Simple animations and pixel art displays Arduino and microcontroller LED projects Learning multiplexed display driving Package Contents 1× 1.2″ 8×8 Yellow LED Matrix (KWM-R30881CUYB) Note: This yellow matrix uses a different manufacturing process than other 1.2″ yellow-orange LED matrices. Colours may not match exactly if used side by side.
