RGB DOT MATRIX BOARD & DRIVER BOARD BASED ON ATMEGA328

Description

This Arduino based (ATmega328P) RGB LED matrix driver platform based gains three 8+6-bit channels of hardware PWM control thanks to its LED driver. Its design allows you to easily change or write firmware using the Arduino IDE.

This product is a replacement of: VMA439

Features

• High color resolution: With the capability to control each of the 3 primary colors with an intensity resolution up to 14 bits, the board offers an exceptional color spectrum.
• Direct programmability: Thanks to its compatibility with the Arduino IDE firmware, you can easily and directly program, thus reducing setup and development time.
• Versatile communication: Equipped with hardware UART and I2C communication, the board is suitable for advanced projects and a broad range of applications.
• Made in Belgium : Whadda is a unique brand from Belgium’s Velleman Group that offers DIY projects for hobbyists or makers who want to immerse themselves in electronics, programming and mechanics.
• STEM project: Develop and improve your STEM skills and acquire the knowledge, skills and experience needed to face the technological challenges of the future with this educational kit. This educational kit will trigger a number of processes such as problem-solving, investigative and creative thinking.
