Grove - Red LED Matrix w/Driver

Grove - Red LED matrix with driver

Description

This Grove module is a combination of the 20 mm 8*8 square LED matrix - Red and the Grove LED matrix driver and is used to display simple numbers and images. 

It is based on the HT16K33, a memory mapping and multi-function LED controller driver, which allows you to control the LED matrix with pre-prepared and user-friendly libraries, or you can create your own library to control it according to your requirements. The software configuration functions make the HT16K33 suitable for multiple LED applications, including LED modules and display subsystems. The HT16K33 is compatible with most microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico and communicates via a two-wire bidirectional I2C bus.

What is Grove?

Grove facilitates connection, experimentation and simplifies the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. More than 300 Grove modules have been developed to cover a wide range of applications and fulfill a variety of requirements. Not only the hardware is open source, but also the software. We offer various Grove Shields to enable a connection to the Grove system with various microcontrollers .
