4-Digit 7-Segment LED Matrix Display FeatherWing

4-digit 7-segment LED display add-on in FeatherWing form factor, compatible with all Feather boards.
Pinout
- 3V
FeatherWing power and logic rail. Adafruit Learn states the LED matrix uses only the 3V and GND pins for power and logic.
Type · PowerVoltage · 3.3V Feather rail; source notes current draw is about 40 mA for most uses. - GND
Ground return for the FeatherWing power and logic connection. Adafruit Learn states the LED matrix uses only the 3V and GND pins for power and logic.
Type · Ground - SDA
I2C data connection to the HT16K33 LED driver. Adafruit Learn states all LED control is done over I2C and SDA must be connected.
Type · I2CVoltage · 3.3V logic on Feather I2C bus. - SCL
I2C clock connection to the HT16K33 LED driver. Adafruit Learn states all LED control is done over I2C and SCL must be connected.
Type · I2CVoltage · 3.3V logic on Feather I2C bus. - A0
Address solder jumper. Adafruit Learn states A0 sets the lowest I2C address bit with value 1 when shorted.
Type · Analog - A1
Address solder jumper. Adafruit Learn states A1 sets the middle I2C address bit with value 2 when shorted.
Type · Analog - A2
Address solder jumper. Adafruit Learn states A2 sets the high I2C address bit with value 4 when shorted, allowing addresses 0x70 to 0x77.
