Supplies
- Breadboard (optional)
- 8 by 8 matrix
- Jumper Wires (a lot of them)
- Arduino
Step 1: Assemble
You want to begin by knowing each of the pins. There are 16 pins on the 8 by 8 matrix, from 1-16
- Connect pin 1 to 13 on the Arduino
- Connect pin 2 to 12 on the Arduino
Connect pin 3 to 11 on the Arduino
Connect pin 4 to 10 on the Arduino
Connect pin 5 to A2 on the Arduino
Connect pin 6 to A3 on the Arduino
Connect pin 7 to A4 on the Arduino
Connect pin 8 to A5 on the Arduino
Connect pin 9 to 2 on the Arduino
Connect pin 10 to 3 on the Arduino
Connect pin 11 to 4 on the Arduino
Connect pin 12 to 5 on the Arduino
Connect pin 13 to 6 on the Arduino
Connect pin 14 to 7 on the Arduino
Connect pin 15 to 8 on the Arduino
Connect pin 16 to 9 on the Arduino
The Code
You can customize the code to make whatever you would like on the matrix. Just modify >> Ishreet and << Face to create whatever you would like. All you have to do is change the 0 (off) and 1's (on) on the code in order to light up any specific LED in the matrix.
Here is the code:
