Adafruit 8x16 LED Matrix FeatherWing w/o Matrices
Description
You will chirp with delight when you see how easy it is to make your very own 8x16 LED matrix
display for any Feather. At 0.8" square, the little 8x8 matrices have everything a big LED matrix
has, but bite sized!
A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is the
Adafruit 8x16 LED Matrix FeatherWing! This
FeatherWing backpack makes it easy to
combine and control two of our adorable mini 8x8 LED matrices with a FeatherWing
driver board. Double them up for 128 total bright LEDs.
Works with any and all Feathers!
Normally, wiring up 8x16 matrices would require a breath-taking 24 GPIO pins, which is
way too many pins. That's where this lovely 16x8 LED matrix backpack PCB comes in. It
contains a HT16K33 I2C LED matrix driver that does all the multiplexing work for you,
and is controlled over the two I2C pins. It's easy to use, has a portable library that runs
on any of our Feathers to turn on/off each LED.
The 16x8 backpack is also great for making scrolling displays or small video displays. In
our example, we set it up to display small bitmap emoticons but you can also display
text that moves - kind of like a sign in front of a miniature car dealership.
This product kit comes with:
A fully tested and assembled Adafruit 8x16 LED Matrix FeatherWing
Two sixteen pin headers
A bit of soldering is required to attach the matrix onto the FeatherWing but its very easy
to do and only takes about 5 minutes!
This version does not come with the
8x8 mini LED matrix displays,
but we have lots
available in the shop. We also have combo-packs available in
White, Blue,
Green,
Red,
Yellow,
and
Yellow-Green.
