8×8 Dot Matrix DisplayA typical single color 8×8 dot matrix unit has 16 pins, wiring rows and columns together, 8 for each row and 8 for each column. This technique of controlling a large number of LEDs with fewer pins is called Multiplexing. |
MAX7219 ChipEnter the mighty MAX7219 Chip, which does all the control and refresh work for you. It can fully control 64 individual LEDs – including maintaining the same brightness, and allowing you to adjust the brightness of the LEDs with hardware or software (or both). All you have to do is send it serial commands through the 4-pin SPI interface. |
Wiring Instructions1. The left side of the module as an input port, an output port on the right. 2. If a single control module, simply input port connected to CPU 3. cascading multiple modules, input and output termination CPU, input the output end of the second module of the first module, the first two modules of the first three input termination module, and so on. |
VCC--connects to 5V. Due to the high current draw of the display (up to 1A, if the brightness is cranked all the way up), it is recommended to run it directly from the external power supply instead of the 5V supply from the for Arduino. Otherwise, be sure to keep the brightness below 50%, so that the for Arduino voltage regulator does not overheat.
GND--connects to the common ground.
DIN--is the Data In. Connect it to any digital pin of the microcontroller.
CS/LOAD--is Chip Select (sometimes labeled as LOAD). Connect it to any digital pin of the microcontroller.
CLK--is the Clock pin. Connect it to any digital pin of the microcontroller.
VCC--Connects to 5V on next module.
GND--Connects to GND on next module.
DOUT--is Data Out and connects to the DIN pin of the next module.
CS/LOAD--Connects to CS / LOAD on next module.
CLK--Connects to CLK on next module.
