Overview

What's better than a single LED? Lots of LEDs! 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' - so 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. Here at Adafruit we feel your pain! After all, wouldn't it be awesome if you could control a matrix

without tons of wiring? That's where these adorable LED matrix backpacks come in.

We have them in quite a few flavors!
