16x16 LED Display Module

Description¶

This 16x16 Display module uses the 74HC138 and 74HC595 to decode and drive 4 8x8 LED modules to create an even bigger 16x16 LED display module. Detailed Demos based on Arduino help you understanding and learning how to use this module and thus to integrate it to your own applications。

Model:DLD1616LED

Features¶

16x16 LED Display
Color: Red
Support the 128x64 LCD Display
Cascadable

Usage¶

1.Hardware connection

2.Connect the board to PC using USB cable.

3.Copy the below code to you new skecth,then upload it.
