• Easy-to-use I2C interface with selectable 7-bit addresses (0x70-0x77)
• Three address-selection jumpers allow connecting up to eight matrices or combination displays on one bus
• Fully tested and assembled backpack requires minimal soldering to attach the matrix
• Compatible with STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors for solderless connections

The kit includes the fully assembled LED backpack, the 1.2" 8x8 yellow/orange LED matrix, and a 4-pin header for easy connections. Minimal soldering is needed to attach the matrix to the backpack.

Adafruit provides a detailed tutorial, example wiring diagrams, and a supporting library to quickly get started with displaying images or numbers on your matrix display.
