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
- DIN means data in, the pin where this display receives data from the controller. Connecting DIN to the correct SPI data output pin is needed for the screen to receive pixel and command information.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
