What is it?

A simple 8x8 LED arrangment that uses MAX7219 LED driver to controll each LED individualy and uses RP2040 to store the code and
send the data to Driver to create the image

How to use it?

write a code in C++ and flash it onto the RP2040 to create the paterns onto the LED matrix

Questions

How big is the Matrix LED display PCB?

It measures 65 × 55 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Matrix LED display use?

84 parts, built around the MAX7219M. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Matrix LED display KiCad files?

From the Dhruv2212-star/Matrix-LED-display repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/matrix LED display.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/matrix LED display.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Matrix LED display design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Dhruv2212-star before reusing the design.
