==Introduction==
A fun way to make a small display is to use an 8x8 matrix or a 4-digit 7-segment display. Matrices like these are 'multiplexed' - to control 64 LEDs you need 16 pins. That's a lot of pins, and there are driver chips like the MAX7219 that can control a matrix for you, but there's a lot of wiring to set up and they take up a ton of space. After all, wouldn't it be awesome if you could control a matrix without tons of wiring? That's where these lovely LED matrix backpacks come in. <br>
The matrices use the constant-current drivers for ultra-bright, consistent color, 1/16 step display dimming, all via a simple I2C interface.

== Features ==
* 8 rows and 8 cols LED matrix
* Driven by HT16K33 chip
* Access to I2C communication pins
* Occupy less IO ports of microcontrollers
* Easy connection and available for more experiment extensions


== Parameters==
* Input voltage: 5V    
* Rated input frequency: 400KHZ 
* Input power: 2.5W  
* Input current: 500mA 


==Pinout==

==Wire it Up==
Connect the SCL pin to Analog A5, SDA pin to Analog A4 port; Connect VCC pin to 5V port, GND pin to GND.

uint8_t counter = 0;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("HT16K33 test");
  matrix.begin(0x70);  // pass in the address
}
void loop() {
  // paint one LED per row. The HT16K33 internal memory looks like
  // a 8x16 bit matrix (8 rows, 16 columns)
  for (uint8_t i=0; i<8; i++) {
// draw a diagonal row of pixels

    matrix.displaybuffer[i] = _BV((counter+i) % 16) | _BV((counter+i+8) % 16)  ;
  }
  // write the changes we just made to the display
  matrix.writeDisplay();
  delay(100);
 counter++;
  if (counter >= 16) counter = 0;  
}
