## Description

The Adafruit DotStar High Density 8×8 Grid packs 64 individually addressable RGB LEDs into a compact 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm (1" × 1") square. Each DotStar pixel features a built-in PWM driver and is controlled via a 2-wire SPI interface using just two digital I/O pins — data and clock. Each LED delivers full 24-bit colour with high-frequency PWM for smooth, flicker-free output. The grid includes two 4-pad connection ports on the back for easy wiring, plus a power/ground pad set for an optional 220 uF capacitor. Four mounting holes can be snapped off with pliers for a perfect 1" square form factor. Key Features 64 RGB DotStar LEDs – 8×8 matrix in a tiny 25.4 mm × 25.4 mm package 24-Bit Colour – 8 bits per channel (red, green, blue) per LED 2-Wire SPI Control – Clock + data pins; hardware SPI supported but not required High-Frequency PWM – Smooth colour blending with no visible flicker Chainable – Input and output ports allow daisy-chaining multiple grids Compact Design – Capacitor mounts on the back; mounting holes snap off for a clean square Ideal For Miniature LED displays and pixel art Wearable electronics and cosplay Status indicators and data visualisation Multi-panel tiled LED arrays Package Contents 1× DotStar 8×8 RGB LED grid (64 pixels) Note: Each LED can draw up to 40 mA (2.5 A total at full white brightness). A 5V 2A power supply is recommended for full-brightness use. At typical brightness levels, expect approximately 0.5 A per panel.
