There are 16 pins on the side, 8 on each, with 0.1\" spacing so you can easily plug it into a breadboard with plenty of space to wire it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/playground\/Main\/LEDMatrix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eThe Arduino playground has a nice set of tutorials introducing the MAX7219 and 8x8 LED matrices\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn-shop.adafruit.com\/datasheets\/860datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e - We currently have LuckyLight as the supplier for this matrix.
