From the project
Hardware design, BOM, gerbers and 3D files for 8x8-LED-matrix-Blue-MAX7219-board designed by Soldered Electronics.
The LED matrix 8×8 is a system of 64 interconnected LEDs that, with the help of the MAX7219 LED driver, light up as programmed, and all of this is located on one board and is truly easy to use. You can use them to show letters or symbols, display text, and the like. It is possible to connect several modules with just a few wires and control several matrices at once.
