Datasheet

When you buy a pack from Adafruit, it comes with the

fully tested and assembled backpack as well as a 8x8

matrix. You'll need to solder the matrix onto the

backpack but its an easy task.

Remove the parts from packaging and place the LED

matrix OVER the silkscreen side.

The matrix must be soldered on the correct orientation

or it will not work! Check for the side of the matrix that

has printing on it. Then look for the front of the PCB

that has a circle instead of a square in the corner and

line those up as shown on the left

Do not solder the matrix over the chip on the back of

the backpack - it will not work then!
