Adafruit NeoPixel NeoMatrix 8x8 - 64 RGB LED Pixel Matrix

The NeoMatrix 8x8 RGB LED Matrix is a dazzling display of 64 individually addressable RGB LEDs, offering brilliant 24-bit color for each pixel. Perfect for adding vibrant visuals to your project, this matrix is arranged in an 8x8 grid, making it ideal for text, animations, or pixel art.

Key Features:

• 64 RGB LEDs arranged in an 8x8 matrix
• Each LED is individually addressable for full control over color and effects
• Requires only one microcontroller pin to control all LEDs
• Provides 24-bit color (8 bits per RGB channel) for rich, vibrant colors
• Easy wiring with two 3-pin connection ports:
  • Solder wires to the input port, providing 5VDC power
  • Connect the DIN pin to the microcontroller (use digital #6 with the NeoPixel Arduino library)
  • Common ground connection between the microcontroller and power supply is required
• Suitable for a wide range of microcontrollers, including AVR, Arduino, and PIC (not compatible with Linux-based microcomputers or interpreted controllers like netduino or Basic Stamp)
• Each LED can draw up to 60mA, so up to 3.5A per panel when all LEDs are at full brightness (white). For typical use, expect 1-2A per panel.
• We recommend using a 5V 2A power supply for most setups.
• Chainable: You can link multiple panels together for larger displays, though for setups over 4 panels, consider using a 5V 10A power supply.
• Requires an 8MHz or faster processor for handling the timing-specific data protocol needed to drive the LEDs.
• Arduino-compatible with the provided NeoPixel library, specifically designed for AVR cores.

Whether you're creating a simple visual effect or a complex animated display, the NeoMatrix 8x8 RGB LED Matrix offers a powerful and customizable solution for your project. Just wire it up, program your microcontroller, and watch the colorful magic unfold!
