MAX7219 8x8 Dot Matrix LED Display Module (common cathode)
MAX7219 8x8 Dot Matrix LED Display Module (common cathode)
A single 8x8 LED dot matrix driven by the MAX7219, which handles multiplexing and brightness over a serial interface so only three control lines are needed from the host. Cascadable: the output pins feed the input pins of the next module.

Build it with Compoden's AI
Tell Compoden's AI build assistant what you want to display and it picks a compatible screen, checks it against your board's interface and voltage, and hands you the wiring and the driver code matched to the exact module - all from real in-stock parts.
Built and Backed by Compoden
We have spent 10 years supplying displays, boards, and parts to makers, schools, and engineering teams across India. Every Compoden order includes our AI build companion to help you wire the screen and write the driver code.
What pins does it use?
Five pins: VCC, GND, DIN, CS, CLK for the serial interface.
Can I chain several modules?
Yes, connect the DOUT/output pins of one module to the DIN/input pins of the next.
What LED color is it?
The matrix is a single-color common-cathode 8x8 dot matrix.
