8×8 Dot Led Matrix Mcu Control Display Module Max7219

The Dot LED Matrix Module with the MAX7219 Driver Chip is an excellent addition to projects requiring LED displays, especially for creating cool animations or text scrolling. With the MAX7219 integrated into the module, it makes controlling a 64-LED grid (8×8 matrix) extremely simple while only needing 3 communication wires to interface with your microcontroller, such as Arduino.

Key Features:

• Control 64 LEDs with Ease:

  • You can control all 64 LEDs in the 8×8 matrix with only 3 wires (Data, Clock, and Load), saving I/O pins on the microcontroller.

• Cascading Support:

  • It’s easy to connect multiple matrices in a chain. Just connect the output of one module to the input of the next, allowing you to create larger displays for more complex animations or text.

• Compact Design:

  • The module is small, measuring 5 cm x 3.2 cm x 1.5 cm, making it ideal for projects where space is a concern.

• 3 M3 Mounting Holes:

  • The PCB has mounting holes, allowing easy attachment of the module to projects or enclosures using M3 studs.

• Common Cathode:

  • The module is a common cathode type, meaning the common pins are connected to the ground.

• External Current Control:

  • Only one external register is used for setting the segment current of each LED, simplifying design and reducing complexity.

Specifications:

• Display Type: 8×8 Dot Matrix (64 LEDs in total)

• Operating Voltage: 5V

• Module Size: 5 cm x 3.2 cm x 1.5 cm

• Mounting Holes: M3 holes for easy mounting

• Interface: 4-wire serial interface (Data, Clock, Load)

• Supports Cascading: Yes, for connecting multiple modules

Applications:

• LED Animations: Perfect for creating scrolling text, animation effects, or custom displays for various projects.

• Clocks: Display time on a 8×8 matrix for digital clock applications.

• Indicators/Signage: Use it for simple signage or indicator systems in projects.

• Games: Could be used for creating simple games or visual effects in projects like arcade systems or games for embedded platforms.
