Gorillacell Module 010: 16x8 Dot Matrix SPI
Table of Contents
The 16×8 Dot Matrix Display module functions similarly to the 8×8 Dot Matrix Display but offers twice the display size, allowing for larger or more detailed visual outputs.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with one (1) piece of 16×8 Dot Matrix Display module, driven by the MAX7219 driver chip. This driver simplifies wiring connections and provides an SPI communication interface for convenient control.
