A chainable 8x8 LEDs RGB matrix easy to assemble and to drive
This 6cm square matrix is made of RGB LED that can be driven with SPI interface and a quite simple open-source protocole (made public by Olimex).
The matrix can be daisy chained together to creates a bigger display. As the RGB LEDs can be driven individually, each pixel can displays 7 colors (red, green, blue and combinations). The LEDs are not driven with PWM controler, so the number of colors availables on the matrix is limited to 7 colors.
Olimex did create the Arduino code to support this matrix and MC Hobby did make a MicroPython portage of it. As the protocol to transfert the data is simple, it can be adapted to other MicroControler and programming langage.
Technical details
