8x8 LED Matrix for Arduino

One of the Arduino components that have greatly intrigued me is the 8x8 LED Matrix. It lets you control 64 LEDs with just 16 pins, meaning we have to go through a pretty interesting thought process to ensure that the display shows what we intend.

In this video, we will delve into how the matrix works, including the type of logic we have to use to correctly light each pixel, as well as how to set up resistors so we don't cause damage to our LEDs.
