Adafruit 0.8 8x16 LED Matrix FeatherWing Display Kit - Blue
Discontinued
The Adafruit 0.8" 8x16 LED Matrix FeatherWing Display Kit in blue pairs two miniature 8x8 LED matrices with a FeatherWing driver board to create a 128-pixel display for any Feather microcontroller. Use it for scrolling text, bitmap graphics, emoticons, or simple animations.
The onboard HT16K33 I2C driver handles all multiplexing, so you only need two pins to control all 128 LEDs. The I2C bus can be shared with other sensors and displays, and the address is selectable from 0x70–0x77 via solder jumpers. Compatible with all Adafruit Feather boards.
