## Description

This miniature 8×8 LED matrix packs 64 bright blue LEDs into a compact 0.8" square package. With 16 pins (8 per side) at standard 0.1" spacing, it plugs directly into a breadboard with plenty of room for wiring. The matrix requires 1:8 multiplexed control — either use shift registers (such as a 74HC595 for anodes and TPIC6B595 for cathodes) or a dedicated LED driver like the MAX7219 which handles all the multiplexing for you. Key Features 64 Blue LEDs – 8×8 matrix configuration Compact Size – 0.8" square form factor Breadboard Compatible – 16 pins at 0.1" spacing Multiplexed Control – Works with MAX7219 or shift register setups Specifications LED Colour: Blue Matrix Size: 8×8 (64 LEDs) Dimensions: 0.8" × 0.8" Pin Count: 16 (8 per side) Pin Spacing: 0.1" (2.54mm) Ideal For Scrolling text displays Simple animations and pixel art Arduino and microcontroller projects Learning LED multiplexing techniques Package Contents 1× Miniature 8×8 Blue LED Matrix Resources Arduino LED Matrix Tutorial
