Adafruit NeoPixel NeoMatrix 8x8 - 64 RGB LED Pixel Matrix
8x8 individually addressable RGB LED matrix using WS2812 NeoPixels, driven from a single microcontroller pin with 24-bit color per pixel. Draws up to 3.5 A at full white; requires a real-time MCU (AVR, ARM) — not compatible with Linux SBCs or interpreted controllers.
