## Description

This 1.2″ 8×8 square LED matrix features 64 white LEDs in a compact grid format, ideal for scrolling text signs, simple animations, and small pixel displays. The module fits directly onto a breadboard with 0.1″ pin spacing for easy prototyping. With 16 control pins (8 per side), the matrix is driven using 1:8 multiplexing. A dedicated driver IC such as the MAX7219 simplifies control, or you can drive the LEDs directly from a microcontroller using shift registers.
