DFRobot FireBeetle is a low - power micro - controller for the Internet of Things (IoT). It's designed to quickly and easily build IoT hardware platforms. The FireBeetle series includes Boards, Covers, and Accessories. This 24x8 LED Matrix display, specifically made for FireBeetle, supports low - power mode and scrolling display. With the HT1632C high - performance LED driver chip, each LED has its own register for easy individual control. It features a 256KHz RC clock, consumes only 5uA in low - power mode, and supports 16 - scale PWM brightness adjustment. This product also works with other Arduino microcontrollers like Arduino UNO. Specifications: Operating Voltage is 3.3 - 5V, LED color is blue, Drive Chip is HT1632C, Working Current is 6 - 100mA, Low - power Consumption is 5uA, RC clock is 256KHz, Chip Select has D2, D3, D4, D5 options, it uses Serial Data Communication, supports Arduino Library and Scrolling display, has an interface mode compatible with FireBeetle Series, Operating Temperature ranges from - 10°C to + 85°C, Dimension is 24 x 58mm (0.94 x 2.28 inches), and Weight is 26g. Shipping List: One Blue 24x8 LED Matrix FireBeetle Cover, two 18pin - 2.54mm Pin Headers, and two 18pin - 2.54mm Female Pin Headers.
Using the Blue 24x8 LED Matrix FireBeetle Cover is easy. First, connect it to your FireBeetle board or Arduino UNO using the provided pin headers. Make sure to choose the correct chip select option (D2, D3, D4, or D5). Once connected, you can start programming it using the Arduino Library. You can display different patterns and text, and take advantage of the scrolling display feature. For low - power usage, just switch it to low - power mode. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry environment and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures outside the - 10°C to + 85°C range. If you're not using it for a long time, store it safely to prevent any physical damage.
