3-Pack 8x8 LED Matrix MAX7219, 3 Colours

• 3-COLOR VARIETY PACK Includes 1 Red, 1 Green, and 1 Blue 8x8 dot matrix LED display module (64 LEDs each, single fixed color per module — not full-color RGB). Mix modules for colorful scrolling text, status indicators, or layered pixel art. Each module is independently controllable.
• 3D-PRINTED ENCLOSURES INCLUDED Three custom-fit 3D-printed PLA cases (Red, Green, Blue to match each module) protect modules from dust and scratches with a finished look — no exposed PCB. Suitable for desktop, wall, or embedded builds.
• CHAINABLE DESIGN, BASIC SOLDERING REQUIRED Each module has labeled IN/OUT ports for daisy-chaining (DOUT to DIN) to build wider displays such as 24x8 scrolling text, retro paddle-and-ball or snake-style games, or animations. Basic soldering required to connect pin headers between modules.
• MAX7219 DRIVER + SPI CONTROL Onboard MAX7219 IC with 16-level software-adjustable brightness, low-power shutdown, and constant-current LED drive. Simple 5-pin SPI control (VCC, GND, DIN, CS, CLK). Power the module from 5V for full brightness, or from 3.3V when you want the data lines to match a 3.3V board such as ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico. Works with ESP32, ESP32-S3, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi Pico, STM32, Arduino IDE, MicroPython and CircuitPython.
• ENDLESS PROJECT IDEAS Build scrolling text, retro arcade-style games, notification tickers, weather widgets, audio visualizers, pixel art frames, or educational demos. Sample code on the Lonely Binary GitHub. Australian-designed open-source maker hardware — great for hobbyists, classrooms, makerspaces, or gifting to electronics enthusiasts.

Lonely Binary 3-Pack 8x8 MAX7219 LED Matrix Display Kit

Red, Green, Blue with Custom 3D-Printed Enclosures. Each module features a classic 8x8 grid (64 LEDs) driven by the MAX7219 IC — controllable with minimal pins for a wide range of maker projects.

Three Colors in One Pack

Red — retro aesthetic, suitable for scoreboards and notification displays

Green — high visibility, suitable for status indicators and game graphics

Blue — cool tone, suitable for animations and pixel art

Each module is a single fixed color (not full-color RGB).

Custom 3D-Printed Enclosures Included

Three precision-fit enclosures (color-matched to each module) protect the LED matrix from dust and scratches with a finished look and no exposed PCB. Suitable for desk, wall, or embedded mounting.

Chainable Design

Each module has labeled IN/OUT ports with DOUT-to-DIN connections for daisy-chaining. Build wider displays such as 24x8 scrolling text banners, multi-color pixel animations, or larger game displays. Basic soldering required to attach pin headers between modules.
