8*8 RGB LED Dot Matrix Display Module with Driver board
Compatible with Arduino(ME039)
This is a magic RG B LED dot-matrix driver compatibl e with Arduino .It pairs the M 54564
with a single DM163 constant current driver. By using the DM163, it gains three 8+6-bit
channels of hardware PWM control of the LED’s freeing up the MCU from having to
implement it in software. This gives the ATmega328 more CPU bandwidth for performing
other tasks.It is easy to cascade by IIC and Power interfac e.
Features:
• 8bits colors support with 6bits correction for each color in every dots
• Hardware 16MHz PWM support
• Without any external circuits, play and shine
• Dedicated GPIO and ADC interface
• Hardware UART and IIC communication with easy cascading
• 24 constant current channels of 100mA each
• 8 super source driver channels of 500mA each
