9x16 Charlieplexed blue LED matrix bare board (no driver, no resistors) designed to pair with the Adafruit IS31FL3731 16x9 Charlieplexed PWM LED Matrix Driver.
Power input for the IS31FL3731/LED matrix board; Adafruit Learn states the IS31 can be powered from 2.7-5.5 VDC and this voltage is also used for logic.
Ground reference for power and I2C logic.
I2C data line; connect to the microcontroller I2C SDA pin. Learn page states built-in 20K pullups to VCC.
I2C clock line; connect to the microcontroller I2C SCL pin. Learn page states up to 400KHz clock speed and built-in 20K pullups to VCC.
I2C address selection jumper/pin; Adafruit Learn states the board can be chained by soldering address jumpers closed to select alternate I2C addresses.
