Our project is infact an Arduino with Serially Interfaced MAX7219 Operates an 8X8 LED Matrix to display a heart pattern. The MAX7219 IC is a serial input/output common-cathode display driver that ...

Most of us have an 8x8 LED matrix from one of our Arduino kits. What can we do with them? This module investigates how to use these interesting devices. Along the way, we describe a fun electronics ...

The idea here is that you put the Meggy together yourself, and then program games that will run on the 8x8 RGB LED matrix display -- plus eight extra LEDs that you can use for scoring and the like.

Inside the requisite red enclosure with white knobs are an Arduino Nano and a 16×16 RGB LED matrix.
