Pinout for the 1.2in 8x8 HT16K33 board

Post by emily1 »

I bought a few of these planning to build my own LED matrix on them: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1048

They did not come with any documentation and I've been unable to find anything on that specific board (the other HT16K33 boards do have docs floating around, but I have several of these already).

Can you point me toward a pinout for this board? Thanks!

There's a schematic on the Downloads page of the tutorial:

There is this:

How do the pin numbers on the LED matrix shown here relate to the 16 unlabeled pins on the board?

The numbers on the schematic match the pinout of the LED matrices they're made for:

The solid dot indicates the position of pin 1, and the numbers advance counterclockwise as is standard for chip pin numbering.

If you're looking for a more general HT16K33 breakout, this is the one:
