8x8 RGB LED Matrix (WS2812, Individually Addressable)

The 8x8 RGB LED Matrix features 64 individually addressable WS2812 LEDs, providing a compact and vibrant visual panel for embedded electronics projects. It is an ideal display solution for students, makers, and hobbyists creating custom animations, sensor visualisations, and wearable tech.

Individually addressable pixel grid

The module contains 64 integrated WS2812 RGB LEDs arranged in an 8x8 grid. Each pixel is independently controllable, allowing you to render detailed graphics, text, and dynamic lighting patterns.

Full 16.7 million colour output

Each LED is capable of 24-bit true colour reproduction, delivering up to 16.7 million distinct colours. This allows for rich colour mixing and smooth gradients across the display surface.

Single-wire communication interface

The matrix uses a single data line for communication, significantly reducing the microcontroller pin count required for operation. This leaves more I/O pins free for your other sensors and peripherals.

Modular cascade support

Built-in cascading capability allows you to daisy-chain multiple matrix panels together. You can expand your display area seamlessly without adding extra control pins from your microcontroller.
