EASY plug I2C 8x8 LED Matrix

Introduction

What's better than a single LED? Lots of LEDs! A fun way to make a small display is to use an 8x8 matrix. This matrix uses a driver chip that does all the heavy lifting for you: They have a built in clock so they multiplex the display. They use constant-current drivers for ultra-bright, consistent color, 1/16 step display dimming, all via a simple I2C interface.
Note: this module needs to be used together with EASY plug control board.

Specification

• Interface: Easy plug
• Supply voltage: 4.5V-5.5V
• Maximum display: 16*8
