The 8×8 RGB LED Matrix is a 64-pixel full-colour display panel based on WS2812 addressable LEDs. Each LED can be independently controlled with 256 brightness levels per channel, delivering over 16 million colours at a scan rate of 400Hz or higher.
The module uses a single-wire data interface (XH2.54 3-pin connector) and supports cascading — connect Din of one panel to Dout of another to build larger displays using just one microcontroller pin. Compatible with the open-source Arduino WS2812 libraries.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DIN
- As a pin label, DIN stands for 'data in', the input through which a device receives serial data from a controller, as found on SPI displays, LED drivers and other serial modules. DIN can also refer to the German standards body of that name, as in a round multi-pin DIN connector or DIN-rail mounting.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
