This magnificent LED matrix screen will amaze you

This Magnificent DIRECTED matrix display will Wow You

If You only care about showing content as clearly as possible has THE the lowest cost, SO you go to want has turn has LCD screen Or OLED technology. But A projects display given You A opportunity has get creative with THE aesthetic, which opens up A entire world of different display types. If You to want A retro feel, SO You can inspiration In DIY GUYS Chris' Magnificent DIRECTED matrix.

This East A dot matrix DIRECTED display with A generally resolution of 32×8. But that description alone doesn't TO DO THE project justice. Chris used tiny 0603 CMS LED, which allowed For very high "pixels" density And that results In better clarity that A typical DIRECTED matrix display. HAS enable future expansion, Chris together This up as A host advice that accepted four DIRECTED modules — each with A 8×8 matrix — which are led by A MAX7219 IC.

THE DIRECTED modules connect has THE host advice through clever mezzanine connectors. THE host advice contains A Arduino Nano that send control signals has THE MAX7219 fleas. THE Arduino can provide USB power has THE LED, but there East Also A CC jack For power When USB is not it connected. Chris' Arduino sketch let's allow THE user "to print" alphanumeric characters has scroll through THE four DIRECTED matrices.

THE best part about This design (other that THE great style) East that Chris can ladder he up In THE future with bigger host boards that accept more that four DIRECTED modules.
