Product Description

Add dynamic visual feedback to your projects with the MAX7219 LED Dot Matrix 4-in-1 Display. This module integrates four 8x8 dot matrix units into a single 8x32 display panel, controlled by the powerful MAX7219 serial input/output common-cathode driver IC. At Robogears, we recommend this module for its high-efficiency serial interface, which allows you to control all 256 LEDs using only three data pins from your microcontroller. This makes it a perfect solution for scrolling text displays, digital clocks, and status indicators in your Arduino or Raspberry Pi builds. The module comes with pre-soldered input/output headers and a 5-pin female-to-female jumper wire, enabling immediate "out-of-the-box" connectivity.

Detailed Key Features

  • Integrated 4-in-1 Array: Combines four 8x8 matrix units into a seamless 32-column display for scrolling text and complex animations.

  • Simplified Serial Interface: Employs a 3-wire SPI communication protocol (DIN, CS, CLK), significantly reducing the number of I/O pins required on your controller.

  • Individual LED Control: The MAX7219 IC handles all BCD decoding and multiplexing, allowing you to address each of the 256 LEDs individually with zero flickering.

  • Expandable Daisy-Chain Support: Features both input and output headers, allowing multiple modules to be linked together to create ultra-long scrolling displays.

  • Stable Brightness Management: Includes a digital and analog brightness control via software, ensuring consistent luminosity across the entire matrix.

All Technical Details

  • Pinout: VCC (5V), GND, DIN (Data In), CS (Chip Select), CLK (Clock).

  • Cascading: Output pins (VCC, GND, DOUT, CS, CLK) located on the opposite end for serial connection.

  • Brightness: 16-level software-adjustable brightness control.

  • Efficiency: Low-power shutdown mode (150µA) for battery-operated standby.

  • Mounting: Includes 4 integrated 3mm screw holes for secure enclosure mounting.

Prototyping & Engineering Tips (Robogears Exclusive)

  • Power Supply Tip: While the MAX7219 can run off your Arduino's 5V pin, a single 4-in-1 module can draw up to 200mA–300mA at full brightness. If you are daisy-chaining multiple modules at your Pimpri workshop, use an external 5V power supply to avoid overstressing the microcontroller's regulator.

  • Library Recommendation: For Arduino users, the MD_Parola and MD_MAX72xx libraries are highly optimized for this 4-in-1 layout and support advanced scrolling effects with minimal code.

  • Orientation Logic: If your text appears upside down or reversed, most libraries allow you to change the "Hardware Type" (e.g., FC16_HW or ICSTATION_HW) in the setup code to match this specific PCB routing.

  • Wiring Protocol: Ensure the GND of your external power supply is connected to the GND of your microcontroller (Common Ground) to prevent signal noise and data corruption.

Package Includes

  • 1 x MAX7219 LED Dot Matrix 4-in-1 Display Module
