The ultra-bright red LEDs are arranged in a grid with 16 pins (8 per side) on standard 2.54 mm (0.1\") pitch, allowing the display to plug directly into a breadboard with one row of pins on each side.\n\nThe matrix requires 1:8 multiplexed control. It can be driven using shift registers (such as a 74HC595 for anodes and TPIC6B595 for cathodes) or a dedicated LED driver like the MAX7219, which handles multiplexing automatically.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n8×8 LED Grid – 64 individually addressable red LEDs\n\nUltra-Bright – High-visibility red output\n\nBreadboard Compatible – 16 pins on 2.54 mm pitch (8 per side)\n\nCompact Size – 30.5 × 30.5 mm\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nPart Number – KWM-30881CVB\n\nDisplay – 8×8 red LED matrix\n\nSize – 30.5 × 30.5 mm (1.2\" × 1.2\")\n\nPin Count – 16 (8 anodes + 8 cathodes)\n\nPin Pitch – 2.54 mm\n\nMultiplexing – 1:8 required\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nScrolling text displays and signage\nSmall video and animation displays\nArduino and microcontroller LED projects\nLearning about multiplexed LED control\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 8×8 red LED matrix (KWM-30881CVB)\n\n\nResources\n\nLED Matrix Tutorials (Arduino Playground)\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":12407,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-455","price":7.71,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":77,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
