Adafruit 1.2 8x8 LED Matrix Backpack

The Adafruit 1.2" 8x8 LED Matrix Backpack is a standalone I2C driver board for 1.2" square 8x8 LED matrices. It features the HT16K33 I2C LED driver, handling all multiplexing so you only need two pins to control a full 64-pixel matrix display.

The backpacks are end-to-end stackable, and address jumpers on the back allow up to eight backpacks to share the same I2C bus. Well-documented Arduino and CircuitPython libraries make setup straightforward.

Key Features

  • HT16K33 I2C Driver – Built-in multiplexing with selectable address for up to 8 on one bus
  • Stackable Design – End-to-end stackable for multi-display setups
  • Simple I2C Interface – Only two data pins required
  • Arduino and CircuitPython Libraries – Well-documented libraries for quick setup

Package Contents

  • 1× Adafruit 1.2" 8x8 LED matrix backpack (assembled and tested)
  • 1× Header strip
Important: A 1.2" 8x8 matrix display is not included. This backpack is designed to work with the 1.2" 8x8 matrices stocked in our store. Other 1.2" square 8x8 displays may not be compatible.
