Only 1.2" on a side, it is quite visible but not so large it won't plug into a breadboard! There are 16 pins on the side, 8 on each, with 0.1" spacing so you can easily plug it into a breadboard with one row on each side for wiring it up. These LEDs have a bright white coloring, it's a beautiful shade but the process is different than our other 1.2" white LED matrices so be aware the colors won't match up Since the display is in a grid, you'll need to 1:8 multiplex control it. We suggest either using a 74HC595 and TPIC6B595 (using the 74HC' to control the 8 anodes at once and then using the TPIC' to drive one cathode at a time) or just using a single MAX7219 which will do the multiplexing work for you. The Arduino playground has a nice set of tutorials introducing the MAX7219 and 8x8 LED matrices TECHNICAL DETAILS The Arduino playground has a nice set of tutorials introducing the MAX7219 and 8x8 LED matrices Using a high power shift register to drive 8x8 matrices with a NETduino This is a Common Cathode LED Matrix Dimensions: 31mm x 31mm x 7mm / 1.2" x 1.2" x 0.3" Height without Pins: 7mm / 0.3" Weight: 7.65g Datasheet MAY WE ALSO SUGGEST... 1.2" 8x8 Matrix Square Pixel - Amber Small 1.2" 8x8 Ultra Bright Square White LED Matrix + 1.2" 8x8 Matrix Square Pixel - Blue 1.2" 8x8 Matrix Square Pixel - Pure Green 1.2" 8x8 Matrix Square Pixel - Yellow 16x8 1.2" LED Matrix + Backpack - Ultra Bright CONTACT SUPPORT DISTRIBUTORS EDUCATORS JOBS FAQ SHIPPING & RETURNS TERMS OF SERVICE PRIVACY & LEGAL "The key to the future of the world is finding the optimistic stories and letting them be known" - Pete Seeger ABOUT US ENGINEERED IN NYC Adafruit (R) 4.6
