CJMCU 64 Bit 8×8 RGB LED Driver Development Board

CJMCU 64 Bit 8×8 RGB LED Driver Development Board a large board with 64 WS2812 RGB LEDs arranged in an 8×8 matrix. Each LED is capable of drawing as much as 60mA (at peak brightness the matrix can draw just over 3.5 Amps at 5 Volts), this adds up so it is suggested to use a 5V 2A power supply. For most users, you’ll see about 1-2A of current per panel.

There are two 3-pin connection ports to the wiring board. Solder wires to the input port and provide 5VDC to the +5V and ground pins, then connect the DIN pin to your micro-controller and make a common ground from the 5V power supply to the micro-controller/Arduino.

Additionally, you can chain as many panels together as you’d like. For the second panel, connect the DIN connection to the first panel’s DOUT, connect the ground pins together and power with 5V. It should be noted that after four or more panels you may run low on RAM if you’re using an Arduino Uno and you may need a 5V 10A power supply for so many of these!

Every stick is equipped with a single data line with a very timing-specific protocol requiring a real-time micro-controller with an 8MHz or faster processor such as an AVR, Arduino, PIC etc. There are solder pads on the back for connecting wires or breadboard pins and two mounting holes for securing this board to many different surfaces.
