It sits on any Raspberry Pi computer with a 2x20 connector, giving you a compact grid of 128 charlieplexed LEDs for patterns, text and simple graphics.The built-in IS31FL3731 Charlieplex driver runs over I2C, so it only uses the SDA and SCL pins and can share the bus with other I2C devices and sensors. Each LED can be PWM controlled individually, with 8-bit dimming for smooth lighting effects without lots of pin handling.The driver includes display memory for 8 separate animation frames, letting you prepare multiple frames and switch between them with a single command. The Bonnet comes fully assembled with no soldering required, and Adafruit’s CircuitPython library works on Linux computers such as Raspberry Pi after a pip install.Features:Matrix size: 16x8 LED display with 128 charlieplexed LEDsLED colour: Red LED matrixRaspberry Pi fit: Fits any Raspberry Pi computer with a 2x20 connectorDriver: Built-in Charlieplex driver runs over I2CIndividual control: PWM control for each individual LED in the 16x8 gridDimming: 8-bit (256 level) dimming for each individual LEDDriver chip: Uses the IS31FL3731Power: Runs happily over 3.3V powerAnimation memory: Enough RAM for 8 separate frames of display memoryI2C pins: Uses only SDA/SCL pins and can share them with other I2C devices and sensorsAssembly: Fully assembled with no soldering requiredSoftware: Uses Adafruit’s CircuitPython library for Linux computers like Raspberry PiExamples: Example code is provided for simple graphics or textSpecifications:Product Dimensions: 65.0mm x 30.6mm x 5.5mm / 2.6\" x 1.2\" x 0.2\"Product Weight: 8.1g / 0.3oz","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"LED Matrix Bonnet","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15761,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-6115","mpn":"ADA6115","price":31.85,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":73}]}
